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 March 2023. The briefing, entitled "The Geopoliticization of Democracy and the Problem of Illiberal Peace" looks at the growing Russian-Azerbaijani axis, and why Armenia must choose a liberal peacebuilding process over an authoritarian and illiberal peace process.

Armenia's precarious security situation is compounded by its underdeveloped institutions and infirm infrastructure. For the February security briefing, Nerses Kopalyan writes that in this context, the entirety of Armenia’s social and governmental approach must revolve around building resilience.

Taking into consideration the security context in January 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.
