Roman Karapetyan

Resume

After the collapse of the Soviet Union the territorial conflicts in the South Caucasus were triggered, which not only damaged the security environment in the region, but also determined the future course of relations between the countries of the region. Regional countries also have differing views in selection of foreign partners.

The first steps were done towards the development of economic relations, which later would provide solid bases for political and military cooperation. A number energy and transport projects of were developed the 1990s that were implemented in early 21st century. Currently the cooperation between these three countries continues.
Under this circumstances, the imperative of ensuring Armenia's security raises some questions: do these programs threaten Armenia’s development, are they are sharply directed against Armenia and what practical steps are being taken to neutralize them or to develop programs to counter their negative effects?
