Civilitas founder Vartan Oskanian and Director Salpi Ghazarian
participated in the Bled Strategic Forum, in Bled, Slovenia, August
30-31. Ministers, policy makers, members of government, experts and
representatives of civil societies from Europe, the U.S. and Asia
participated in the forum entitled "The Politics of Economic Crisis:
Redefining Economic and Geopolitical Landscapes in Europe and Eurasia."
Mr. Oskanian participated in the panel named "Stability through
Regional Frameworks: Eastern Europe and the Caspian Region." He spoke
about the role of European and regional organizations in maintaining
peace and stability in the Caucasus. In post-Soviet reality these
organizations have played a positive role, but in the light of
recent tensions between Russia and the West, they can also be a
destabilizing factor. Thus both Russia and the West should accept
the idea of complementarity, that was Armenia's main foreign policy
principle in the previous 10 years, and to try to complement each
other's presence in the region, instead of confronting each other.
Mrs. Ghazarian participated in the panel named "Before and After
the Financial Crisis: The Question of Values." Mrs. Ghazarian spoke
about the important role of universal values and principles in any
political and economic=2 0development. One of the lessons learned
from the financial crisis was that the lack of principles and moral
values, such as the expectation that there would necessarily be
self-regulation and the predominance of wealth accumulation as a
goal, rather than a means to equitable, fair, decent life for all,
is what led to the crisis. And an acknowledgement that prosperity is
a way of reaching a dignified and peaceful world is what is needed
at the base of the financial and institutional reforms that now must
necessarily take place.
