Our scientific conference is one of the few if not the only proof
of unity of the region countries, Director of Kavkaz Institute,
a political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan said when opening the
international scientific conference "Caucasus-2008" in Yerevan today.
'Interesting and important events happened in South Caucasus and
around it in 2008 will be discussed during the seminar. Moreover,
the political, social and economic processes in Caucasus, the policy
of the USA, Europe, Turkey and Russia in Caucasus, the unrecognized
Caucasus republics, ethno-political conflicts, as well as the regional
security will be discussed at the seminar', he said.
According to Iskandaryan, the year 2008 was quite interesting for
Caucasus: such events as a five-day war happened there during a year,
which significantly changed the configuration in Caucasus and around
it, as well as the dynamic events in the Northern Caucasus. 'Serious
changes happened in Armenia as well: this was a year of serious
internal political shocks. It was interesting also for Georgia and
Azerbaijan and for the countries around us', A. Iskandaryan resumed.
Scientific conference 'Caucasus-2008' is held in Yerevan on
28-29 April. Scientists, journalists and politicians from Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Russia and some European countries are
taking part in the conference, organized by 'Kavkaz' institute. The
conference is a part of the programme Building Capacity for Policy
Debate in Armenia, financed by European Union as well as Swiss
Foundation for Development and International Cooperation and Henry
Bell Foundation.
