That's not true. The French have made more than one overture.

What I meant in changing alliances was dropping the CSTO flop and reaching out to the UN, for example.

The UN would definitely not intervene militarily on behalf of Armenia if Turkey or Azerbaijan attacks. And France would be unwilling to risk war with any of the nations around Armenia by putting boots on the ground there. The only country willing to do so has been Russia. And even then, quite reluctantly. Armenia is almost entirely at the mercy of Russia and Iran to deter Turkey and Azerbaijan from attacking at will.

When your only options are one shitty dictator or the other. Wish Iran can just democratize already like Georgia and Armenia so there can be some like minded stability not enforced by dictators.
