Armenia's Election: Between Moscow, Brussels and Its Own Path

49 minutes

With Anna Ohanyan and Hakob Matevosyan

Armenia votes this Sunday. The small South Caucasus country is at a turning point – distancing itself from Russia and looking towards Europe and the United States. We speak with political scientist Anna Ohanyan about how Russia is trying to influence the vote, what regional connectivity really means for Armenia's sovereignty, and whether a small country can truly shape its own future.
