    On April 16-17, an international conference devoted to "The Caucasus:
    Imagining Freedom, Negotiating Dominion" was held at St. Andrews
    University with the participation of the ambassadors of Georgia and
    Azerbaijan, as well as experts and scholars from different countries.

    The issues discussed were related to current conflicts in the region,
    relations between the Caucasus and the West, as well as political,
    cultural, linguistic and historical issues.

    In his speech, Armenia's Ambassador to the UK Vahe Gabrelyan talked
    about Armenian identity, the main challenges facing Armenia's foreign
    policy, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Turkish-Armenian relations
    and recognition of the 1915 Armenian Genocide.

    Ambassador Gabrielyan particularly mentioned that the normalization
    of Turkish-Armenian relations cannot be viewed in the context of
    third countries and that the Armenian authorities and the can never
    forget or neglect the 1915 Armenian Genocide. He touched upon the
    history of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in detail and presented the
    Nagorno-Karabakh people's just struggle for their rights.

    Then, Gabrielyan answered questions regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict and Armenia's policies in the region.
