About

I am an Austrian-Armenian political analyst and policy practitioner with experience in government, domestic and European politics, international relations and strategic policy analysis. My professional experience spans different political and institutional environments in Armenia and Austria, combining practical political experience with policy analysis. My work focuses particularly on the South Caucasus, European foreign and security policy, regional security and geopolitical affairs.

I currently work as Researcher at the Yerevan Center of Foreign and Security Policy, focusing on foreign policy, regional security and geopolitical developments. Previously, I spent nearly three years at the Office of the Security Council of Armenia, including as Adviser to the Secretary, where my work combined policy analysis and strategic briefings with the coordination and facilitation of high-level political engagements.

Earlier in my career, I spent around seven years in politics in Austria, gaining experience at both the regional and federal levels. This included several years working in regional and party politics in Salzburg with the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP), as well as involvement in electoral campaigns. At the federal level, I worked in a parliamentary advisory role in the Austrian Parliament.

Across these roles and other political and analytical projects, I have worked and engaged with parliamentarians, government officials, diplomats and other political stakeholders in different institutional settings.

I hold Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Political Science from the University of Salzburg, with a particular focus on international relations and European politics.
