ACNIS Hosts Danish Foreign Policy Society
Yerevan--Today, 7 May 2013, the Armenian Center for National and
International Studies (ACNIS) hosted a delegation of the Danish
Foreign Policy Society and, in a policy roundtable organized by the
Center, imparted approaches and analyses on a number of issues
pertinent to regional security, the Mountainous Karabagh (Artsakh)
Republic, and its conflict resolution prospects.
Welcoming the audience with opening remarks, Raffi K. Hovannisian,
ACNIS founder and president, shared with the distinguished
participants a brief overview of the long-standing legacy of historic
civilization, often interrupted statehood, and the current
democracy-building challenges of Armenia. `As an arena for both
cooperation and competition, the region is strategically significant
by virtue of its geographic vulnerability and geopolitical
opportunity, where a difficult balancing of outside pressures and
internal drawbacks define the parameters of the imperative for
crafting a full-fledged modern state system out of the heritage of
ancient Armenia,' he noted.
On the request of the participants, ACNIS director of research Manvel
Sargsian provided a concise analysis of the key stages of the Karabagh
peace process, the national quest of the Mountainous Karabagh people
for independence and a secure existence, along with the economic and
legal aspects underlying the nation-building process of the second
Armenian republic.
The presentation was followed by a series of questions and answers,
and featured a dynamic exchange of opinions about Armenia's outlook
upon international and regional developments, and domestic political
shifts in their light, together with possible political scenarios and
contingencies facing the country in the years to come.
