Nikol Pashinyan: Between the Illusion of Sovereignty and the Threat of Catastrophe

National interests require sober calculation, balance, and consistent steps - the development of new partnerships without “burning old bridges.” So far, Nikol Pashinyan’s political course resembles a movement toward existential risks and threats, where declared neutrality is turning into a risky venture, and the cost of potential mistakes may prove too high for the state and the nation.
