Abstract
The present article seeks to show the evolution of the foreign policies of post-Soviet Armenia during the period of 1991-2004. Deriving from a concise analysis of Armenia's standing as a South Caucasian country and a modern history of complex - and often conflicting - interrelations with its influential neighbor, Turkey, and Russia, as well as internal developments following the dissolution of the USSR, the article illustrated the dilemmas which had been making up the diplomatic environment in which Armenian foreign political agenda established itself.
The key factors of this nation's foreign policies are being scrutinized such as the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh with Azerbaijan, Armenia's relationship with Russia, the foreign political aspects of the (non)recognition of the Armenian genocide in the context of Armenian-Turkish relationship and Yerevan's relationship with Iran.
