The budget of Yerevan sets the priorities of the economy of the city for the upcoming year. In the budget the planned level of revenues, as well as its structure is presented. In addition, the planned level of expenditures and its distribution by functional and economic classifications are determined. The forecasting of revenues and expenditures is followed by the planning of the budget deficit and the sources of financing it. Given the importance of this document and the programs embedded there, the present analysis aims to assess whether the budget of Yerevan and its structure are consistent with the problems confronting the city. Full material is only available in Armenian.

The collective memory of nations has never been merely a description of the past. It is a political resource, a basis for identity, and a crucial mechanism for shaping perceptions of the future. This analysis examines how states and societies organize their politics of memory. 

Special attention is paid to the phenomenon of how the struggle over historical memory in Armenia has become a central axis for political positioning, reflecting the tensions between state power and society. The discussion covers how previous historical narratives are being "dismantled" at the state level and why postmemory (inherited memory) faces serious contradictions among the younger generation.

The objective of the present analysis is to assess the execution of the state budget of the RA in the given period. First, we describe the general state of the economy of the RA, namely the driving forces of economic activity, the developments in individual sectors of the economy, the behavior of the components of the demand – consumption and investment – and so on. Afterwards, we analyze the performance of government revenues and expenditures by comparing the actual and planned values of the respective indicators. We conclude the analysis by summarizing the main observations and results. Full material is only available in Armenian․

Representatives of the government formed in Armenia after the unconstitutional change of power in 2018, trying to refute the successes achieved by Armenian sides in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, made various statements, promising to publish documents confirming the authenticity of their claims. To this end, on December 2nd, 13 materials were posted on the government website under the heading “Documents of the negotiation process on the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict,” including 5 negotiation documents drafted from 2007 to 2019. The article presents 10 of the most problematic statements made by the head of government, and proves that they have no documentary basis, are false, and both these statements and the publication of the package on the government's website were intended to mislead the public, create a false impression about the settlement process of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and the status of Artsakh stipulated in the documents during this process. After the publication, a number of new false claims were made, indicating a lack of knowledge about negotiation processes. All the statements, both old and new, indicate a lack of understanding of the negotiation process and the documents presented in the package indicate the opposite. The negotiation documents formed starting in 2007 (after the introduction of the principle of self-determination into the basis of the negotiation document) until 2018, as well as the document submitted by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs to the current authorities in 2019, which did not differ from the document of 2016, unequivocally fixed the settlement scheme ensuring the independence of Artsakh and international recognition through the free expression of the will of the people of Nagorno Karabakh. These documents also show that draft Declarations on the settlement of the conflict, Statements by the Co-Chairs and Resolutions of the UN Security Council were prepared, which proved the proximity of their application, but this was not implemented due to the disruption of the settlement process by the current Armenian authorities.

The monograph presents the results of an interdisciplinary study on the significant impact of geopolitical transformations on settlement of ethno-political conflicts based on international law. One of the most typical cases is the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and its resolution process. After the power change in Armenia in 2018, the normal process of resolving this conflict within the framework of basic principles of international law was replaced by sharp shocks yielding to the logic of escalated geopolitical confrontation between West and Russia. This undermined the mediation efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group countries (France, Russia, USA), leaving only two options for conflict resolution: the realization of self-determination rights with the support of international community or genocide of people of Nagorno-Karabakh. A comparative analysis of the processes of resolving self-determination conflicts (East Timor, Kosovo, Nagorno-Karabakh) at various stages of formation of the new world order is carried out. Threats of catastrophic developments due to changes in positions of influential actors regarding conflict resolution are considered under the influence of geopolitical transformations. The possibility of preventing such developments is also considered. Full material is only available in Armenian.
