As a result of analysis of official documents and theoretical literature we have tried to define a concept, and framework of its aims and activities. It is stated that though some defense diplomacy activities were part of interstate relations during the centuries, in the past two decades the framework of defense diplomacy has essentially been enlarged. Some changes, regarding the character of defense diplomacy, have also taken place. Special attention is paid to the problem of aims of International Military Cooperation of Armenia. Amongst them the following ones have central importance: creation of favorable conditions for the State Security, assistance to the reforms of defense sphere and the participation in the strengthening of International Security.

    Abstract

    In Russian social life the idea of activating the conservative approaches towards the social processes is being strengthened. The conservative ideological system, which is becoming dominant in Russia, is definitely close to the post-Soviet societies and, in the future, it will be estimated as a dominant system in Eurasian Union as well. However, contrary to the main argument of the Eurasian integration, it is pushing forward not the economic but the spiritual-moral aspects of social development which have always beensignificantly different among the people who live in post-Soviet area. Therefore, there can appear some difficulties in the ideological field of already new union. The conservative liberalism could be considered as the most acceptable ideological system for the post-Soviet societies which, first and foremost, has a liberal orientation. At the same time it underlines the significance of moral norms, the social progress observes as a necessary process of human community development, but without shocks and excesses.

    Abstract

    Political and ideological principles are one of the main criteria for the typology of political parties. According to the classification by political and ideological principles, the first group consists of doctrinal parties with certain and officially proclaimed ideology. The second group includes parties with uncertain ideology, which we prefer to regard as pragmatic ones. Classification of political parties can be based either on the ideological specifics of political parties, or on the essence of developed policies /liberal, socialist, conservative, religious, nationalist, etc./.
