Home Council on International Relations

The Civilitas Foundation Council on International Relations advocates peace and stability in the Caucasus through multifaceted dialogue and open discourse. It offers a forum through which to inform Armenia's opinion and policy making process as well as the international academic, political and media communities about Armenia's foreign policy choices, options and actions, in the context of Armenia's national security challenges. Through public and private discussions as well as research and publications, the Council promotes the Armenian perspective internationally and domestically. The Council works to promote the proper mechanisms and the necessary environment for further European integration.

Our last question was, "Which spheres require urgent reforms?" We suggested a few spheres to focus on: the political system, the economic system, the judicial system, education and mass media. Typically, we receive a similar distribution of answers on both the Armenian and English Civilitas sites.
