Magister Título De La Tesis 2 REPÚBLICA DEL ECUADOR INSTITUTO DE ALTOS ESTUDIOS NACIONALES UNIVERSIDAD DE POSTGRADO DEL ESTADO 2011-2013 MAESTRIA EN RELACIONES INTERNACIONALES Y DIPLOMACIA MAGISTER TÍTULO DE LA TESIS: “PASADO, PRESENTE, Y FUTURO: UNA EXPLORACIÓN DE LAS RELACIONES ENTRE LA REPUBLICA DE ECUADOR CON LA REPÚBLICA DE ARMENIA EN LA GEOPOLITICA CONTEMPORANEA (1990-2014)” Autor: Ana P. 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. Este análisis se hace desde la perspectiva teórica del realismo y del liberalismo. Empleamos nociones realistas para estudiar las perspectivas de Armenia como un país en construcción a partir de su independencia de la URSS en 1992. Usamos la perspectiva liberal para la agenda bilateral, por cuanto esta visión teórica ofrece posibles áreas de interacción internacional basada en comercio e intercambio. Para este trabajo exploratorio, partimos del provisto que los gobiernos de los países determinan prioridades en su política exterior, y que estas prioridades no necesariamente coinciden con las de un putativo socio cooperante. En este trabajo, planteamos una visión de Armenia como un socio para Ecuador. 7 ÍNDICE PÁG.

For the beginning, see İRS-Heritage 2 (21), 3 (22) 2015 n addition to numerous acts of terrorism and wide- spread terrorist crimes related to the organization by Iforeign nationals of illegal armed groups in the terri- tory of Armenia and their participation in the activities of such groups, representatives of the Armenian side to the conflict committed other crimes of a similar nature during the Karabakh war, facts that were recorded on the Azerbaijani side. First of all, we are talking about a Car in which journalist S.

The main qualifying feature of this criminal act is the motiva- tion and goal-setting of participation in the crime: those guilty of committing it take action to change the constitutional system or the territorial integrity of the country. Actions of this kind were committed by soldiers of Armenian origin under the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 336th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 23rd Motorized Infantry Division of the 4th Army of the CIS Joint Armed Forces under the command of Major Seyran Ohanyan, who not only seized fighting equipment - infantry fighting vehicles (BMP-2) - without a military order, but also used them against Azerbaijani territorial defense units in the battle of 25 February 1992 for the town of Khojali, which subsequently led to mass deaths of civilians in this town.

  • Transnational Armenian Terrorism and Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict of 1988-1994)
    Karabakh Oleg KUZNETSOV, PhD in History, MCL (Moscow, Russia) First Terrorist War: A Look from Russia (Transnational Armenian Terrorism and Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict of 1988-1994) he subject of the history of Armenian terrorism and national and religious extremism, which is insepa- Trably connected with it and has been the ethnic ideology of the Armenian people in their struggle for national statehood for a long time - at least, throughout the twentieth century, has never been a subject of study in the Russian scientific community. At the same time, The Moscow-Baku train blown up by Armenian terrorists in the territory of the Russian Federation near the city of Khasavyurt on 30 May 1991. 11 people were killed and 22 were injured 54 www.irs-az.com 2(21), SUMMER 2015 the phenomenon of “Armenian terrorism” has objectively existed for over a hundred years, and therefore, like any other phenomenon of social and political history, it can be a subject of scientific study. The main thing is to en- sure that the study is free from partiality, ideological bias, political conditions and other similar attributes that turn a scientific work into an instrument of propaganda or a political technique for manipulating the mass public consciousness. Transnational Armenian terrorism as a socio- economic, socio-political and legal phenomenon originated in the late 19th century in the Ottoman Empire, from where it spilled over into the Russian Empire and the Balkan countries and then spread to Western Europe and North America. The first crimes of Armenian terrorism date back to the 1890s, so it has nothing to do with the theme of the notorious “Armenian genocide” in the Ottoman Empire in 1915, as well as their persecution in this country at an earlier or later time.
