Armenia’s security architecture in a changing balance of power: The role of India and France, risks and prospects
Shifts in the balance of power across Eurasia are prompting states to seek new alliances and recalibrate their security partnerships. These systemic changes compel governments to reassess cooperation with external actors in order to safeguard national security and construct resilient security architectures. Armenia offers a compelling case study: as a small state navigating a rapidly evolving regional order, its diversification strategy and deepening military-technical ties with France and India

Oh for goodness sakes!
You can talk about Threat Theory until the cows co.e home.
It doesn’t change the fact you, like every other pro-Western Armenian, are geographically illiterate.
India? Really?
As for France, it is never, ever going to tangle with the Turks.
No Western country is.
LOOK AT A MAP!
Armenia cannot afford geographical illiteracy or political fantasy.
great analysis!
“Great analysis”? LOL! This author’s article is more of an April Fools’ joke than an “analysis”.
He is completely out of touch, when he practically portrays France as a knight in shining armor ready to “save” Armenia, and ignores the geographical and geopolitical realities of Armenia.
Did France come to the “rescue” when Azerbaijan, with Turkey’s support, attacked Artsakh and Armenia, subsequently conquered and destroyed Artsakh, and occupied Armenian territory? No! It did not even apply sanctions against Azerbaijan for its aggression and war crimes, which it could have done so if it wanted to!
And how is France supposed to come to the aid of landlocked Armenia? Certainly not through Turkish, Iranian, Georgian, let alone Azerbaijani airspace, considering how strained its relations are with these very countries. A strategic military partnership between Armenia, France and India is a realm of fantasy, considering this stark geographical reality and the great distance, which the author has failed to mention.
When it comes to their foreign policy, France is all talk but no action.
The author urgently needs to learn geopolitics, especially about Armenia.
