FORESIGHT ARMENIA: EXPLORING FUTURE SCENARIOS FOR 2025–2028
Two-Day Public Workshop | Organized by Peace Dialogue NGO
Peace Dialogue NGO is pleased to invite civil society actors, independent experts, and international stakeholders to participate in a two-day workshop titled “FORESIGHT ARMENIA: Exploring Future Scenarios for 2025–2028”, dedicated to examining Armenia’s strategic trajectory in the years ahead. The event will take place off-site in Dilijan on 11–12 August, 2025.
This initiative builds on a recently held closed-door workshop that gathered Members of Parliament, government representatives, and a select group of civil society organizations and experts. Together, they explored both best- and worst-case scenarios for the region, with a particular emphasis on the potential implications of the signing—or absence—of a peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan. As a result, four plausible strategic scenarios were developed, outlining distinct pathways Armenia may follow through 2028.
At a time when Armenia faces critical choices across its domestic, regional, and geopolitical landscape, this public workshop will serve as a platform to:
✅ Assess the perceived likelihood and internal logic of each scenario
✅ Analyze their implications for democracy, sovereignty, security, economy, gender equality, environment, and societal cohesion
✅ Co-develop early warning indicators and actionable policy recommendations to enhance Armenia’s resilience and preparedness
Who Can Apply?
Peace Dialogue welcomes applications from:
✅ Civil society organizations working on human rights, youth, gender, environment, democratization, and social justice
✅ Independent experts, analysts, and academics
✅ Representatives of foreign diplomatic missions and international organizations operating in Armenia
Expected Output
The insights generated during the workshop will be captured in a concise Policy Brief, summarizing key findings, reflections, and forward-looking recommendations.
