Today, 10th February 2010, 10.15 to 11.15 am, Serzh Sargsyan, President of the Republic of Armenia, will not be meeting with Queen Elizabeth or Prince Charles as widely reported in the Armenian press, but will make a presentation ‘Values and Security in the South Caucasus’, at Chatham House, UK’s Royal Institute of International Affairs in London. The meeting will be a member’s event, chaired by Lord Robertson of Port Ellen, Co-President, Chatham House.
The Chatham House website includes a pre-amble, including: “There have been significant political developments in the South Caucasus in recent months as Armenia and Turkey have sought to normalise diplomatic relations and re-open their common border. The unprecedented level of diplomatic exchange between the countries has implications for the whole region. At the same time, however, Armenia’s relations with Azerbaijan remain frozen, and the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh is far from resolved”.
President Serzh Sargsyan will discuss the prospects for the normalisation process with Turkey, developments in the wider South Caucasus region, and the security challenges facing Armenia in the coming year.
