  • £AZERBAIJAN @Hostages in the Context of the Karabakh Conflict - an Update
    £AZERBAIJAN @Hostages in the context of the Karabakh conflict - an update Introduction Hostage-taking has been an intractable problem since the beginning of the conflict over Karabakh - an area of Azerbaijan populated mainly by ethnic Armenians. Over 20,000 people are estimated to have died in this conflict which has spread beyond Karabakh, now under the overall control of ethnic Armenian forces, to other areas of Azerbaijan which they have occupied. Hundreds of people, many unarmed civilians, have been held as hostages by all sides to the conflict. These hostages have been held by private individuals, with the knowledge and/or complicity of the authorities. They have also been held by the authorities themselves, who in some cases are reported to have detained people and then distributed them as hostages to private families who have members held as hostages by the other side. There have been many reports of torture and ill-treatment in detention. The self-perpetuating cycle of taking hostages to exchange for those held by the other side has been exacerbated by the activity of intermediaries, who have brokered hostage distribution to families, or their exchange, for money. Even corpses are traded. Humanitarian law forbids hostage-taking under any circumstances. Amnesty International has persistently appealed to all parties to the conflict to ensure that no one is detained as a hostage, or otherwise held solely on the grounds of their ethnic origin. The organization strongly believes that all human rights violations are to be deplored and that in no circumstances can abuses perpetrated by one party be used as justification for abuses carried out by another.

  • Renewable Energy in Armenia
    Renewable Energy in Armenia By: Areg Gharabegian1, Artak Hambarian2, Morten Søndergaard3, Kenell Touryan4 Danish Energy Management in close consultations with main stakeholder and local experts in Armenia has prepared the Renewable Energy Roadmap for Armenia and its related technical studies which were funded by the Renewable Resources and Energy Efficiency Fund (R2E2) of Armenia under World Bank GEF Grant. This paper is a summary of the findings and conclusions of the studies and the roadmap. Background Renewable energy development has been slow in the past but its application throughout the world is accelerating. Policies to stimulate a faster deployment of clean energy technologies are necessary which in turn will create a level playing field by addressing market barriers, creating transparent pricing structures, and facilitating access to infrastructure financing. Because the renewable energy industry is not yet at the same level of development as the more traditional energy industries, it needs a more favorable regulatory environment in the near-term for its development, survival, and transformation to a mainstream energy resource. Some renewable energy technologies are close to becoming commercial such as hydro, biomass, and wind According to the main results of the Armenian Renewable Energy and should be the first to be deployed on a massive Roadmap project, the contribution of scale. While other renewable energy technologies exhibit the renewable electricity in Armenia promising potential, they are less mature and require can increase by fivefold in 2020 in long-term vision, government encouragement, and comparison to the 2010 energy pro- favorable regulations to flourish. duction from renewable energy.

  • EBA Annual Report 2017
    European Business Association Armenia NARRATIVE REPORT 2017 www.eba.am 1 Message of the Head of EU Delegation to the Republic of Armenia, EU Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Dr. Piotr Antoni Świtalski The relations between the European Union and the Republic of Armenia have been consistently developing throughout our cooperation history. The growth and development of the EU - Armenia partnership proceeds in various directions among which are the three main EU priorities: private sector development, public administration reform and justice sector reform. The establishment of European Business Association (EBA) in Armenia has come at an appropriate time to assist with the above-mentioned developments and support European business community in the country, in order to further nurture bilateral relations and economic interactions between the EU and Armenia. The EBA will not only introduce the best practice for business environment improvement and business development solutions, but also will perform as a platform for Public- Private Dialogue and trade facilitation. In this context, the EBA has its crucial role in business advocacy process. The EU warmly welcomes the EBA's efforts in the area of the business environment improvement that aim to further promote foreign investments and trade in Armenia. I strongly believe that EBA will stimulate the improvements of business related legislation and positive changes in the Armenian business environment, as well as will assist in the establishment of solid ground for the mutually beneficial EU – Armenia cooperation. I wish the EBA and its members further success and achievements! 3 4 EBA Members 5 EBA TEAM 6 EBA’S MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT IMPROVEMENTS On July 7 European Business Association jointly with the Business Community and the European Diplomatic Community in Armenia conducted a business forum on “Business Perspectives, Impediments and Opportunities” for foreign and local companies/investors doing business in Armenia.
