Bruno Scapini: NKR people are one the way to self-determination
Globalization affected the world, expanding its borders. Hence, Karabakh conflict has acquired the status of international vs. regional crisis, Italian Ambassador to Armenia Bruno Scapini told today a round table discussion organized by Armenian Center of National and International Studies (ACNIS).

At that, he noted that Turnin University Professor Luca Guiduzzi's studies in Nagorno Karabakh had social context which could be helpful in political sphere as well.

In that regard, Italian diplomat stressed the importance of viewing NKR Armenians' psychology from two angles: national and social-cultural. Touching upon the former, he pointed out to Soviet time traditions surviving in their everyday life to the present day. With regard to the second aspect, "it testifies to the serious impact of historical developments on people's mentality," Scapini noted.
