The Armenian Center for National and International Studies (ACNIS)
today held a daylong roundtable discussion to explore the sense and
significance of the conflicting situation around Mountainous Karabagh
(Artsakh). The seminar discussion brought together leading analysts,
policy specialists, and young political scientists.
ACNIS director of research Manvel Sargsian welcomed the audience
with opening remarks. "Over the course of this dialogue we will try
to model present-day international legal and political mechanisms
and standards concerning the conflicting situation to elucidate
some theses-particularly Karabagh's recognition or non-recognition
issue-that are widely articulated in public domain and political
circles," Sargsian stated.
The event featured presentations from experts Marta Ayvazyan, Levon
Gevorgyan, Arthur Ghazinyan, Andrias Ghoukasyan and Davit Shahnazaryan,
who evaluated the legal and political realities with respect to the
conflicting situation around Mountainous Karabagh, and presented the
avenues to act upon the current state of affairs from the standpoint
of security prospects by probing into the issue's international-legal
and political models-along with their standards-and the methods of
political influence on the conflict.
According to the analysts, the international-legal model of the
Karabagh conflict includes the nature of the internationally
recognized issue, the proposal of the resolution, and the legal
acts that shaped the international stand towards the conflict. The
participants considered the internationally acknowledged fact of
disagreement on some aspects of the Karabagh issue, the availability
of international process of political resolution of the latter-based
on the guiding principles of Helsinki Final Act-Azerbaijan's obligation
to peacefully solve the issue, and the fact of internationally hampered
use of force by Azerbaijan as the standards of the political model.
In the light of the same set of standards, the seminar reflected on
the internationally non-recognized right of the people of Artsakh to
self-determination, Azerbaijan's hegemony over Karabagh and de facto
recognition of the right of Karabagh's Armenians to self-determination,
and the actual controversy among the regional states on the conflicting
situation around Mountainous Karabagh.
In regard to efficient legal ways of impact on the Karabagh issue,
the policy specialists underscored the stagnation of the negotiation
process within the framework of the Organization for Security
and Cooperation in Europe's (OSCE) Minsk Group, and highlighted
potential security concerns in case of the recognition of the
Mountainous Karabagh Republic (MKR). The discussants underlined that
both the recognition of MKR byArmeniaand the change of the issue's
international-legal model have some resources, while at the same time
bear some risks.
