EMERGENCE OF DEMOCRACY AND ITS TYPES
As young democracies, Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia have a long way to go in order to develop the culture of elections and conscious voting and responsibility for one’s vote. Yet, unlike developed democracies, the new ones at least have examples, which can help accelerate that process. This idea was voiced by Alexander Iskandaryan, director of the Caucasus Institute during the “Emergence of democracy and its types” lecture at Artsakh State University in Stepanakert on September 12, 2019. The discussions are held in the framework of a project on Building Capacity for Societal Engagement in Nagorno-Karabakh implemented by the Caucasus Institute in partnership with Armavir Development Centre, Civil Society Institute and INTRA Mental Health Centre with support from the UK Government’s Conflict, Stability and Security Fund. The opinions and statements that were made and discussed during the event may not coincide with the official position of the UK Government.
