RSC STAFF PARTICIPATE IN KARABAKH WORKSHOP

Events 25 November 2014

Several RSC staff members participated in an international expert workshop organized in Berlin on 25 November by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) focusing on the “Repercussions of a Changing Geopolitical Environment on the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict.”

Representing the Regional Studies Center (RSC), Senior Analyst David Shahnazaryan, Analyst Mikayel Zolyan and Project Coordinator Haykak Arshamyan each participated in the workshop and gave presentations on different elements of the Karabakh conflict within the new security and geopolitical context. This event was the latest in our broader series of “track 1.5” meetings with partners from Azerbaijan.

The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) is a non-profit German political foundation committed to the values of social democracy. The foundation, headquartered in Berlin and Bonn, was founded in 1925 and is named after Friedrich Ebert, Germany’s first democratically elected president. The Tbilisi-based South Caucasus Cooperation Office coordinates FES’ activities in Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. In all three countries, the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung aims at fostering democracy, peace and social justice through political dialogue, education and research.

We are seeking your support

Would you like to make a difference in Armenia?
Consider supporting our work to deepen democracy, strengthen statecraft and defend the Armenian national interest.

As Armenia faces an unprecedented combination of threats and challenges, we each have a part to play in helping the Armenian nation. But after standing on the frontline committed to the defense and development of Armenia for over twelve years, our think tank, the Regional Studies Center (RSC), is now asking for your support.

As a think tank in Armenia, we focus on contributing to Armenia’s public policy process by providing analytical support in the areas of foreign policy, national security, defense reform and diplomatic strategy. We further seek to strengthen statehood and support statecraft by engaging with Armenian state institutions, including ministries and parliament.

Our work also consists of an advocacy campaign to articulate the Armenian perspective among the diplomatic community and international organizations. And we are proud to have garnered a prominent reputation as a leading Armenian source for interviews and comments for a wide range of American and European media outlets.

Yet one of our most important efforts involves our investment in youth and young professionals in Armenia. Our youth programs comprise a series of educational training courses devoted to professional development and capacity-building, and designed to educate, empower and enhance Armenia’s gifted and promising next generation.

But to sustain and expand our work in this time of crisis for Armenia, we are now asking for your financial support. Your generous contribution and support are greatly appreciated, and we welcome donations in any amount, in USD or EUR (banking details attached).

Thank you,

Richard Giragosian
Director, Regional Studies Center (RSC)
