Since the very first years of independence, Armenia\u2019s main challenge has been maintaining economic self-sufficiency and resisting external influences. Armenia is a small, landlocked country; two of its four neighboring countries are hostile. This limits the country\u2019s economic connections and deepens its external dependence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main challenges facing Armenia are semi-closed borders, limited natural resources, and a complex geopolitical environment. Dependence on external sources in the energy and financial sectors also significantly influences political decisions. Armenia\u2019s economy, with its small market, is highly dependent on external relations. Over the past three decades, economic developments have been heavily influenced by investments, remittances from migrant labor, and imports of energy carriers and strategic goods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Armenia\u2019s economy is classified among countries with small markets. With a population of around 3 million, the country had a GDP of approximately $25.8 billion in 2024, or about $8,500 per capita. In terms of economic structure, services and trade account for over 50%, industry about 22\u201323%, and agriculture around 12\u201313%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remittances from Armenians working abroad continue to be a key driver of economic growth. In 2024, these amounted to around $1.51 billion, with more than half\u2014about $800 million\u2014coming from Russia. This means a significant portion of Armenia\u2019s economy still relies on external income.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">External economic dependence is not only an economic but also a political issue for Armenia. The greater a country\u2019s dependence on a major power or a neighboring state, the more limited its ability to make independent decisions. Today, Armenia is significantly dependent on one or two main partners. In terms of energy, the country is almost entirely reliant on imports: around 80\u201385% of its natural gas comes from Russia, with the remainder from Iran. In trade turnover, Russia accounts for over 35%, while the EU accounts for around 7.5%. Although China\u2019s and Iran\u2019s roles have increased in recent years, they still cannot balance Russia\u2019s dominant position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Russia supplies gas and strategic goods while maintaining political influence in return. Armenia has attempted to diversify its foreign policy by developing relations with the EU, the U.S., and China, yet the dependence structure remains concentrated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two of Armenia\u2019s four neighbors\u2014Turkey and Azerbaijan\u2014have closed their borders since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Thus, Armenia finds itself in a semi-blockaded situation, not a full blockade, as authorities often claim to justify their pro-Turkish and pro-Azerbaijani policies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Energy dependence: Since the 1990s, Armenia has effectively had closed borders with Azerbaijan, and since 1993, with Turkey. Naturally, this not only limited trade and transport opportunities but also increased reliance on northern and southern routes through Georgia and Iran; over 70% of Armenia\u2019s imports and exports pass through Georgia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under these conditions, Russia became Armenia\u2019s main pillar, whose support, while helping maintain energy stability, also deepened political dependence. Thus,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gazprom Armenia supplies the majority of gas while controlling several strategic infrastructures. (Iran also supplies gas, but in much smaller volumes.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Metsamor nuclear power plant operates thanks to Russian loans and technical support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Financial and economic dependence: Armenia\u2019s public debt has largely been built through external loans from Russia, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank. Today, external debt exceeds 55% of GDP. In addition, remittances from migrant workers\u2014mainly from Russia\u2014account for about 12% of GDP, directly linking Armenia\u2019s economy to the Russian economy. Around 30\u201335% of household income comes from these remittances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">External investments and trade: Russia is Armenia\u2019s main investor, controlling the energy, telecommunications, railway, and mining sectors. Around 40% of Armenia\u2019s exports go to Russia, which is risky, as any crisis in the Russian economy immediately affects Armenia. At the same time, investment activity from the EU, China, and Iran is increasing, which is a positive trend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Political security component: It is axiomatic that a country\u2019s economic dependence leads to political dependence. For example, Russia, as Armenia\u2019s strategic ally, often uses economic levers to influence Armenia\u2019s domestic and foreign policy in accordance with its own interests, creating a dependency that limits Armenia\u2019s actions, especially in relation to the West.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Negative consequences of economic dependence:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limited economic sovereignty affecting domestic politics;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vulnerability of the domestic market;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slow development of economic diversification;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased external pressure on political decisions;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social instability in case remittances decrease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Possible Solutions: Handling this situation requires a systematic approach:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diversify trade relations by developing ties with the EU, India, China, the Middle East, and Asian countries;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduce energy dependence by developing solar and other renewable energy sectors;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Promote local production, especially in food processing, mining, pharmaceuticals, and IT sectors;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Develop new transport corridors toward Iran, the Persian Gulf, and the Indian Ocean;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strengthen educational and scientific-technical policies to prevent brain drain;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Develop military-industrial potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion: Armenia\u2019s economic dependence on external powers is not only an economic issue but also one of state sovereignty. Since it is deep-rooted and systemic, it cannot be overcome through short-term political measures. A long-term national economic strategy is necessary to ensure balanced relations with external partners and internal economic self-sufficiency. Armenia has significant potential in mining and processing industries, and only with such a strategy can it restore economic independence and become a meaningful participant in the regional economic system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In recent years, international developments, the regional peace agenda, and the prospect of opening borders\u2014especially regarding the \u201cZangezur Corridor\u201d\u2014have once again posed the question of what impact these changes will have on Armenia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sasun Davidyan, Economist<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Armen Sargsyan, Historian<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Armenia\u2019s economic dependence on external powers is a multi-layered and historically shaped issue.
