US policy in the South Caucasus has not changed considerably since President Joe Biden came to power. Paul Stronski, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, stated this at Saturday’s First Armenian-American Political Science Forum.

According to Stronski, the South Caucasus is a very distant region with which the US does not have as active trade relations as with other regions, and therefore these relations are maintained in connection with the problems related to the collapse of the USSR since the 1990s.

But it should be borne in mind that the geopolitical environment is changing rapidly, and the Biden administration will respond to events, war, and the need to stabilize the region, the analyst added.

Stronski noted that he believes that the US should continue to be engaged in the issues of the South Caucasus.

Speaking about the region, Paul Stronski noted that snap parliamentary elections are approaching in Armenia, and the US hopes that the positive changes in Armenia in terms of elections will continue.

As per the analyst, however, Azerbaijan can become a difficult partner for the US.
