Mafla B. Director: Cristián Melo, Phd. Quito, Enero de 2016 3 4 5 6 RESUMEN/ ABSTRACT Este documento parte de la constatación histórica de la independencia de la República de Armenia en 1991 hasta la actualidad, donde la República de Ecuador ha logrado algunos acercamientos básicos con Armenia, para establecer relaciones bilaterales que prevalezcan por encima y a pesar de las coyunturas geopolíticas de la región del Cáucaso, como es el genocidio armenio llevado a cabo por los otomanos en 1915-1917 y el conflicto territorial entre armenios y azeríes sobre la región del Alto Karabaj. Es posible afirmar que el Ecuador coloca a la República de Armenia en su agenda bilateral de política exterior desde el año 2012. Sin embargo, Ecuador pretende profundizar dichos acercamientos a fin de concretar posibles acuerdos y con dicha finalidad esta investigación pretende establecer un perfil de la República de Armenia desde 1990 al 2014, como guía que determine puntos relevantes de interés ecuatoriano para una posible cooperación. Se aspira a hacer un análisis de los principales aspectos en los que Armenia se encuentra inmersa, como son: político, económico y comercial, cultural, seguridad, tecnología, educación, y otras áreas donde exista potencial de cooperación. La presente investigación tiene como meta el desarrollar un perfil de la República de Armenia, con miras a generar una guía donde se establezca los puntos en común que existen entre este país y la República del Ecuador. -
