While the economic and security dimensions of Turkey’s role in the region have been amply addressed, its cross-border ties with societies in the Caucasus remain under-researched. This issue of the Cauca- sus Analytical Digest illustrates inter-societal relations between Turkey and the three South Caucasus states of Arme- nia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, as well as with the de-facto state of Abkhazia, through the prism of NGO and diaspora contacts. Although this approach is by necessity selective, each of the four articles describes an important segment of transboundary societal relations between Turkey and the Caucasus.

  • 55 Percent of the Population Finds It Acceptable That Another State’S Or International (Intergovernmental) Institution’S Military Base Be Deployed in Armenia
    PERCEPTIONS OF NATIONAL SECURITY IN ARMENIA ѳñóÙ³Ý ³ñ¹ÛáõÝùÝ»ñ Yerevan June 2 2015 ºñ&³Ý Ù³ÛÇëÇ 27 2015Ã. Background In the last two years, Armenia has undertaken a major foreign policy step by signing up to the Eurasian Economic Union, and by not pursuing the Association Agreement with the European Union. The Armenian authorities explained its decisions by ‘security’ reasons. The findings of the Civilitas Foundation’s previous poll in June 2014 indicate that public justifications for joining the Customs Union (later, the Eurasian Economic Union) were more linked to ‘security reasons’ than to economic factors, similar to the justifications of the Armenian authorities. Still the question that remains is, to what extent does the public perception of the concept of ‘security’ or ‘national security’ match the conceptual framework of ‘national security’ inscribed by the Armenian government in its “Strategy on National Security”? This leads to the next question: To what extent do public expectations of national security match the current policy of deploying foreign military bases in Armenia? There is need to identify not only the public’s tolerance level against a particular country’s military units’ presence in Armenia, but tolerance against the presence of foreign military units in general. In this regard, it is worth surveying the conditions under which the Armenian public agrees to provide its territory to foreign military units and whether the conditions for providing territory match their own definition of ensuring ‘national security.’ Objectives of the Poll In order to study the above-mentioned questions, the Civilitas Foundation conducted a public telephone poll with 600 residents of Armenia, randomly selected from all the marzes (regions) of the country and Yerevan.

  • Breaking the Ice: the Role of Civil
    The failure of the 2009 Protocols to establish and develop diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey has largely overshadowed the success of civil society organizations in advancing the normalization process over the past decade. This report aims to help address this imbalance through a detailed account Breaking the Ice: of the United States Department of State-funded “Dialogue-Building between Turkey and Armenia” project, implemented by the Global Political Trends Center (GPoT) of Istanbul Kültür University, Internews Network, Internews Armenia, the Yerevan Press Club and CAM Film between September 2010 and December 2011. The Role of Civil Society and Media in Including an introduction that analyzes the current “frozen” state and historical background of Turkish- Armenian relations, Breaking the Ice: The Role of Civil Society and Media in Turkey-Armenia Relations presents the writings and reflections of the dozens of Turkish and Armenian journalists and students who participated in the project. The output of the Dialogue-Building Project demonstrates the continued, if not Turkey-Armenia Relations heightened, importance of civil society and media-based initiatives in the Turkey-Armenia normalization process, post-Protocols. Susae Elanchenny & Narod Maraşlıyan Since its founding in 2008, GPoT Center has played an active role in rapprochement and reconciliation projects between Turkey and Armenia through organizing numerous exchanges, roundtable discussions and conferences with the participation of leading Turkish civil society activists, academics, journalists and retired diplomats.

  • Independence Generation
    Like many post-Soviet states, the South Caucasus countries are still in transition. Armenia, the smallest republic in the region, is still trying to find its way between Europe and Russia and the values, integration models, and security factors related to it. The transformation into a democratic society and a free market economy is far from being completed. In addition, the country is challenged by the lasting conflicts with Turkey and Azerbaijan, which cause isolation as well as a «neither peace, nor war» environment. The study at hand explores the worries, aspirations, values, and lifestyles of Armenia’s youth. Young people who are today aged between 14 and 29 years grew up after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and in independent Armenia—«the generation of inde- pendence». They are an important indicator for the relationship to the Soviet legacy on the one hand, and the future development of their society on the other hand.
