Armenia's pro-Western prime minister won elections, but peace with Turkey & Azerbaijan remains a challenge
Tigran Grigoryan, director of the Regional Center for Democracy and Security, a Yerevan-based think tank, argues that the road ahead for Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is fraught with risk. Pashinyan won by a wide margin in the June 7 election, but failed to clinch the super majority needed to push through peace with Turkey and Azerbaijan. Economic pressure from Russia is adding to his woes.
