    The Armenian Center for National and International Studies (ACNIS)
    held two presentations on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 6 and 7,
    providing an assessment of the Azerbaijani armed forces and an update
    on current developments in Nagorno Karabagh.

    The opening session of these two related presentations offered an
    objective analysis of the current state of the Azerbaijani military
    and an assessment of the threat of war in the region, with ACNIS
    Director Richard Giragosian presenting a new report on the Azerbaijani
    armed forces.

    The July 6 presentation included a detailed report on various
    aspects of the Azerbaijani armed forces, ranging from Azerbaijan's
    combat capabilities to the deeper problems of corruption within the
    Azerbaijani ministry of defense.

    The second session, held on July 7, was opened by ACNIS Administrative
    Director Karapet Kalenchian and focused on recent developments related
    to the Nagorno Karabagh conflict. Speaking to over sixty participants,
    including the Brazilian and Indian ambassadors, as well as officials
    from the Council of Europe, the European Union and the OSCE, ACNIS
    Senior Analyst Manvel Sargsian gave the first presentation.

    Sargsian explained that "the essential thing in the normalization
    process of the Karabagh conflict were US Secretary of State Hillary
    Clinton's statements made in Yerevan, and specifically her point
    that it is not the US who can resolve this conflict." According to
    the analyst, "Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin also recently
    made a similar declaration," which he said "allows us to conclude
    that outside powers do not justify Azerbaijan's expectations toward
    the resolution of this matter."

    The second speaker, ACNIS Director Richard Giragosian, presented an
    updated analysis of recent developments. Each of the presentations
    was followed by a series of questions and answers, and featured a
    lively exchange with the audience.
