    Abstract

    This article examines the issues related to the
    Armenia’s participation in international peace operations. In particular, Armenia’s engagement in international peace operations is derived from Armenia’s national security
    interests, as well as is in line with her international commitments and the concept of
    cooperative security. Besides, it is aimed at raising her international reputation and level
    of involvement of the country in global processes, as well as developing her own peacekeeping capabilities. In the mean time, Armenia with its’ peacekeeping experience and
    capabilities could also contribute in the development of the CSTO peacekeeping capabilities. A comprehensive study of the subject brings to the conclusion that the perception of Armenia’s security concept is being transformed, as a result of which Armenia is
    capable not only to provide her own security, but also as a security contributing state to
    participate in the international collective efforts aimed at strengthening international
    peace and security

    Abstract

    This paper analyzes the legal basis, main directions and
    existing obstacles, as well as possible perspectives of bilateral cooperation between the
    Republic of Armenia and the French Republic in the sphere of science. Being a weak
    link in the Armenian-French cultural, educational and scientific relations, scientific
    cooperation between Armenia and France has developed rather slowly. However, since
    2008 the cooperation in this sphere has fixed a positive shift, which was determined by
    new agreements and increased attention to the issue by Armenia and France.

    Abstract

    After proclaiming of independence in 1991 the
    Republic of Armenia undertook the process of establishing diplomatic relationships.
    Syria was one of the first countries with which there were established such relationships.
    There were signed three agreements between the Republic of Armenia and Arab Republic of Syria in Yerevan, on 30 March, 1992. One of them was the agreement on commercial-economic cooperation. There were organized a number of visits during which
    there were signed various agreements. There was created a significantly flexible legal
    base for cooperation in the sphere of commercial-economic relationships. There was
    also created an interstate committee that held several meetings both in Armenia and
    Syria. There were organized both exhibitions and business forums and a many highranking officials from both countries brought their participation in them. There were
    granted discounts for carrying out business projects. But independent on the efforts
    spent on the commercial-economic sphere in the period of 1991-2011 the desirable
    result was not achieved.

    Abstract

     In the context of geopolitical processes, occurring in the South Caucasus after the collapse of the USSR, Turkey's aspiration to penetrate the region of geopolitical and geostrategic importance for her, gaining control over the regional processes, promotion of its own scripts and projects, and positioning itself as a regional superpower is worth mentioning. Developing the tactics of its geopolitical influence expansion in the South Caucasus official Ankara at this stage continues to implement a consistent policy of strengthening its positions in Azerbaijan and Georgia by effective usage of military - political and economic as well as foreign policy levers (thus seeking to declare itself not only a regional but also a global power, able to influence the political processes of the South Caucasus and the  Caspian - Central Asian region as well). Based on the abovementioned, the possible formation of strategic alliance of Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia, which will deepen the dividing lines of the South Caucasus, thus finally displacing Armenia out of the regional processes is alarming.
