The Regional Studies Center (RSC) convened its latest analytical briefing on 18 January, with a timely assessment of the Azerbaijani-imposed siege of Nagorno Karabakh, an analysis of the state of diplomacy between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the outlook for Armenia-Turkey “normalization,” and the broader issues of Armenian-Russian relations and Western (EU and US) engagement in the region.
Participants included diplomatic representatives from the EU Delegation to Armenia, the Canadian, Czech, French, German, Lithuanian, Polish, Romanian, Spanish and UK Embassies, officials from the United Nations (UN), Asian Development Bank (ADB), Armenian civil society organizations, as well as an advisor for the EU Special Representative (EUSR) for the South Caucasus and the Crisis in Georgia.
As usual, the RSC briefing also offered two alternative sessions to accommodate participants from Tbilisi, Berlin, Brussels, London and Washington.
As an independent “think tank” in Armenia, the RSC offers a monthly series of interactive briefings for the diplomatic community and international organizations, providing objective analysis of political, economic and security developments in Armenia and the broader South Caucasus region.
