Armenian foreign policy in the wake of the Velvet Revolution

The purpose of the article was to analyse the implications of the Velvet Revolution on the bilateral relations of Armenia with the entities of supra-regional reach (European Union and Russian Federation) and Poland, in the context of active shaping of the eastern dimension of the European Union foreign policy by this country. The article focuses on the external relations of Armenia in the second decade of the twenty-first century, emphasising the consequences of the events of 2018. The topicality of the issues raised by the authors and their key importance in shaping the foreign policy by the centre of power in Yerevan following the phase of the revolutionary transformation in the country deserves particular attention. The relations between Warsaw and Yerevan are a result of the relations between UE, NATO and the Russian Federation, but also of the dialogue between Poland and Russia. Despite the aspirations of the Polish authorities to shape pragmatic and active politics towards Armenia to bring this country closer to the European structures, the possibilities of Warsaw in this respect are limited.
