Stepanakert, Artsakh
STEPANAKERT (UNPO)--The Ministry of Education and Science of the
Nagorno Karabakh Republic and the Artsakh State University organized
an International Conference on 27-29 June entitled "Education without
Discrimination: Bologna Context." The event took place in Stepanakert,
the capital of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and brought together
government officials and lawmakers from Armenia, Pridnestrovian
Moldavian Republic (Transnistria), Nagorno Karbakh (Artsakh), Basque
Country, and Flanders, in addition to international experts,
researchers and students from different parts of the world.
The main purpose of the conference was to address the issue of equal
rights to education and the principle of non-discrimination,
specifically as it relates to education. Discussions were held around
this basic human right issue, which is mandated in the UN Convention
against Discrimination in Education, the International Covenant on
Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the UN Convention on the Rights
of the Child, and other international documents. During the
conference, the right to education was portrayed as a core aspect and
facilitator of tolerance, cooperation, and as a peaceful conflict
resolution mechanism. The conference focused moreover on the current
national and international policies for integration and participation
to the Bologna process for unrecognized states such as Abkhazia, South
Ossetia, Kosovo and Nagorno Karabakh.
The conference highlighted the importance of cooperation within a
single European Higher Education Area, especially when it comes to the
integration of non-recognized states. Dr. Torosyan from Yerevan State
University took the floor and stressed the importance of institutional
reforms, marking the peculiarities in post-conflict countries.
The participants agreed that the right to education and the creation
of a single European Higher Education Area without discrimination
should be implemented in terms of development of stable, peaceful and
democratic societies. Within this framework, non-recognized states
should be ensured to have access to the Bologna process.
