Examining the Context: The Growing Russo-Azerbaijani Axis and Why Armenia Must Adopt a Porcupine Doctrine

EVN Report’s Editor-in-Chief Maria Titizian speaks with political scientist and international security expert Dr. Nerses Kopalyan, author of the monthly series “EVN Security Report” about the security context for January 2023. Kopalyan argues that taking into consideration the security situation and guided by a strategy of deterrence-by-denial, Armenia must develop a “porcupine doctrine” to deter Azerbaijan’s objectives and the destabilizing designs of the Aliyev regime.
