    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.
