86 qualified scientific works were presented at the CIS social
scientists’ General History competition themed: "The End of the 20th
Century and the Beginning of the 21st Century." The RF State Archives
Director, Sergei Mironenko headed a jury of peers who chose eight
finalists, two of whom were Armenian-Hayk Demoyan, Ph. D and Arsen
Hakobyan, Ph. D.
The grand prize was awarded to Hayk Demoyan for his monograph
entitled: Turkey and Karabakh Conflict: A Historical and Comparative
Analysis. Arsen Hakobyan’s work on Tat-Speaking Armenians won third
place.
Demoyan’s work primarily used neutral sources to demonstrate Turkey’s
culpability in aiding and supporting Azerbaijan’s political, military
and economic aggressive policies against Nagorno-Karabakh and Republic
of Armenia. The main conclusions of the monograph placed Turkey’s at
the epicentre of the Karabakh conflict vis-a-vis its comprehensive
support of Azerbaijan. It also illustrates how Turkey actively lobbied
various international organisations in order to execute a policy of
hostile pressure on the Republic of Armenia and also confirmed that
Azerbaijan recruited foreign Islamic mercenaries to fight against
the civilian population of Nagorno-Karabakh.
