    The "Civilitas" Foundation has released Vardan Oskanyan's book entitled
    "Speaking to be heard: A Decade of Speeches", which features Vardan
    Oskanyan's speeches made during his term as Foreign Minister.

    I viewed each appearance as our opportunity to move from being
    witnesses or mere subjects of history to a new place on the world stage
    where we would participate in the making of history. This collection
    of speeches reflects that emergence and documents the evolution of
    Armenia's foreign policy," these are the words of former FM Vardan
    Oskanyan in the preface of the book.

    "I knew I was addressing people who would influence the opinions and
    make the policies that would have a bearing on our development and
    our future. I was speaking to be heard."

    The speeches included in the book reflect on Armenia's foreign policy
    development in the past decade. They represent the place, role and
    policies of Armenia in different periods of the ten-year history, as
    well as reflect the geopolitical developments and notable regional
    and international events that formed part of Armenia's foreign
    policy agenda.

    The book includes a detailed description of international organizations
    and Armenia's relations with different countries during Vardan
    Oskanyan's term as foreign minister, as well as the development of
    the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement. The book also takes a short
    glance at significant events in Armenia's domestic affairs.
