Stability Score?How the stability score is computedA weighted composite of seven pillars— conflict intensity, event volatility, arms activity, economic health, market stress, sanctions exposure, and humanitarian proxy. Each pillar is scored 0–100 (higher = healthier). The composite is weighted (conflict 25%, economy 20%, events 15%, the rest 10% each) and recomputed daily from strategic events, World Bank indicators, arms-transfer data, and sanctions records.

Foreign Ministry leadership briefing appears to precede diplomatic outreach
PM and President meeting with Foreign Ministry on 2026-08-29 followed by FM's workshop with diplomatic missions suggests hierarchical coordination-likely internal policy alignment before external diplomatic engagement. The severity-2 classification of the first meeting supports elevated importance.

+Methodology · how this profile is built
This profile draws from four data tiers. Baseline facts (geography, languages, religion) are from the CIA World Factbook snapshot of January 2026 — the final snapshot before the website was retired. Economic indicators refresh daily from the World Bank. Events, conflicts, dispatches, and entity mentions flow continuously from our continuous intelligence graph — sources come online as we add them. Intelligence briefs are generated daily under ICD 203 analytic-tradecraft standards.
Coverage of Armenia will sharpen as we add local-language sources. Every field above carries a provenance chip so you can judge freshness for yourself.
