Energy and Regional Issues discussed in Davos Armen Sarkissian heads panel with presidents of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, EU leaders Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, 29 January 2009 – The World Economic Forum’s 39th Annual Meeting in Davos started with a keynote speech by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. He told the opening plenary that Russia will work with the US, Europe and other countries to resolve the global financial crisis. “We cannot afford to be isolationist and egotistic,” he said, promising that Moscow will not resort to protectionism and erect trade barriers that will simply worsen the global financial crisis. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, speaking on the same day, stated that the global financial crisis has a “rather big impact” on China’s economy. “We are facing severe challenges, including notably shrinking external demand, overcapacity in some sectors, difficult business conditions for enterprises, rising unemployment in urban areas and great downward pressure on economic growth,” he said. The global financial crisis is the main theme of this year’s gathering of some 2500 participants from 96 countries, including 41 heads of state or government as well as finance, foreign affairs, trade and energy ministers, heads of non-governmental organizations, social entrepreneurs and religious leaders. Forum members are comprised of 1,000 of the foremost companies from around the world and across all economic sectors. Armenia’s former Prime Minister Armen Sarkissian, who is the Chairman of the Global Energy Security Council, participated as a speaker in a plenary session on “An Integrated Approach to Energy, Food and Water Security”. The discussions focused on the impact of the global financial turmoil on supply and distribution of natural resources in view of the facts that 1 billion people around the world lack clean water, one in four lacks electricity, and 25,000 die of hunger each day. The speakers addressed the hidden interrelationships between food, water and energy. Water and energy are more closely interlinked than many assume. Speaking about energy security in the future, Sarkissian said: “Strong policies and serious commitments to alternative sources and supplies of energy from North Africa, Central Asia and the Caspian are needed,” adding that “an open and pragmatic, multilateral dialogue with Russia, Central Asian and Caucasus countries” are urgent. On Thursday, Armen Sarkissian chaired a special panel on Oil and Gas Geopolitics. The high level panellists included President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan, President Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan, EU Commissioner for Energy Andris Piebalgs, OPEC Secretary General Salem Abdalla El Badri, Mexican Energy Minister Georgina Kessel, South African Minister of Minerals Buyelwa Patience, as well as top executives of major energy companies, Exxon Mobile chairman and CEO Rex Tillerson, Total chairman Thierry Desmarest, Eni SpA chairman Roberto Poli, E.On chairman and CEO Wulf Bernotat, president and CEO of StatoilHydro Helge Lund, and others. In his concluding remarks, Armen Sarkissian said: “While financial markets and governments are preoccupied with saving economies from meltdown, a potential major crisis in the global energy supplies and environmental dangers could be looming not in the far future. More than in any other time, in this age of globalisation politics, economics and energy are intertwined. That is why cooperation among regional countries as well as around the globe are essential to start to tackle the critical issues facing our globe today”. |

Armen Sarkissian Chairs the Energy Security Council in Dubai Dubai, 7 November 2008 – The World Economic Forum, in partnership with the Government of Dubai, opened the inaugural Summit on the Global Agenda in Dubai today. The Summit is a unique and timely gathering of the world’s 700 most innovative and relevant minds – leaders from academia, business, government and civil society from 60 countries around the world. The Summit will deal with key issues on the current global agenda – from financial risk to energy security to climate change –with the aim of laying out solutions to some of the most pressing issues. Armen Sarkissian, former Prime Minister of Armenia and founding President of Eurasia House International, is participating in the summit as the Chairman of the Global Energy Security Council. The Council is a multistakeholder body of the most prominent figures in global energy industry and institutions. “More than in any other time, in this age of globalisation, politics, economics and energy are intertwined,” said Sarkissian, who is heading the enormous task of dealing with the most critical issues in energy security facing the globe. “The economies of virtually all countries have become heavily dependent on the political economy of energy. Indeed, energy security and politics have come to affect practically everything society does,” he continued. Over the next three days, the Summit in Dubai -- which was opened by the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai -- will address issues of global importance and would make recommendations for solving major international problems. More than 40 Councils will address global challenges from climate change, financial instability and failing states to religious extremism. The Summit will integrate participants from more than 60 countries from around the world – with thought leaders from the Arab world well represented among the Councils. The outcomes of the Summit will be presented for further discussion and action at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2009 in Davos, Switzerland. Armen Sarkissian will be making keynote presentations and moderate a number of panels at the Davos meetings. |

Armen Sarkissian at UN Disarmament Conference New York (25 October 2008) -- Former Prime Minister of Armenia Armen Sarkissian participated in a special conference at the United Nations dedicated to the efforts to control and reduce stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction around the global. The conference on October 24 was opened with a keynote address by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who urged all nations to pursue an international convention on nuclear weapons back by a strong verification system. Presentations and discussion by prominent speakers -- including Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Mohamed ElBaradei, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, and leaders from China, India, Iran, Japan, Pakistan, the US and a host of countries -- focused on the main theme of the conference: “Building a New East-West Consensus on Weapons of Mass Destruction and Disarmament”. “Disarmament remains to be a major challenge in global relations”, said Armen Sarkissian, who is founding President of Eurasia House International. “We need to devise concrete steps to help the global community to control Weapons of Mass Destruction. And a key element of this is to build trust between key states in the Euro-Atlantic and the Asian region so that strategic policy to control WMD could be developed,” explained Sarkissian. The conference was organized under the leadership of the East West Institute, an international, entrepreneurial organization founding in 1980 and with centers in Brussels, New York and Moscow. The Institute is dedicated to making the world a safer place by addressing the seemingly intractable problems that threaten regional and global stability. More than a think-tank, it brings together individuals, institutions and states that do not usually cooperate and represent both grassroots pragmatism and high-level policy. Armen Sarkissian was elected Vice Chairman of the East West Institute at the Board of Director’s recent annual meeting in New York. He has served as Board Member of EWI since 2004. In his new position, Sarkissian will work with Co-Chairman George F. Russell, Chairman of Russell Investment Group and Co-Chairman Francis Finlay, Chairman of Clay Finlay Inc. EWI chairmen emeriti and board members include Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Martti Ahtisaari, former President of Finland; Hans-Dietrich Genscher, former German Vice Chancellor and Minister of Foreign Affairs; Donald M. Kendall, former Chairman and CEO if PepsiCo. Inc. |

Armen Sarkissian becomes Chairman of Global Energy Security Council GENEVA (11 September 2008) -- Last month Armen Sarkissian, founding President of Eurasia House International and former Prime Minister of Armenia, became Chairman of the Global Energy Security Council, headquartered at the World Economic Forum in Geneva. The Council, a multistakeholder body of the most prominent figures in global energy industry and institutions, is tasked to study, analyze and explore solutions to critical and urgent issues in the global arena. Klaus Schwab, Executive Chairman and founder of the World Economic Forum, explained the purpose of the Council: 'The Global Agenda Councils mark a major milestone in the World Economic Forum's evolution towards becoming the integrator, manager and disseminator of the best knowledge available in the world”. The inaugural Summit of the Council will be held in Dubai in November of this year. In a world where there is increasing energy demand, prices are record-high, supplies are not guaranteed, along with a host of economic and geopolitical factors, energy security has become one of the most critical issues in the early 21st century. While in the past energy security was primarily about supply and demand, geopolitics and market structures, today new factors – from environmental issues to geopolitics and military conflicts – are putting greater pressure on the world market and on global economic development. Reflecting on the enormous work ahead, Council Chairman Sarkissian said “finding long-term sustainable solutions in the multilayered arena of energy security is extremely important, otherwise, it would be difficult to promote economic growth, social progress and peace around the globe”. Such complex solutions to complex problems require cooperation on a global scale. The Council is set up to coordinate this effort. In partnership with the World Economic Forum, as Chairman of the Council, Dr. Sarkissian will nominate world-class thought leaders to serve on the Council, and will coordinate the work of the international body. He will present new insights and innovative ideas about energy security resulting from the work of the Council at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos and other gatherings around the world. On 9 September, at another conference in Geneva on “Greater Regulation and Higher Taxation” in global wealth management, Dr. Sarkissian gave a keynote address to a gathering of high-powered investors and corporate executives. He discussed how the global financial markets are shaping and the likelihood of emerging markets following the lead of the most developed countries. The following day Dr. Sarkissian gave a keynote speech in Zurich on “Natural Gas Geopolitics” at the Fall strategy meeting of the Energy Industry Partnership, organized by the World Economic Forum. He discussed recent political and economic developments around the world and how they affect the uninterrupted flows of energy at affordable prices, including gas. He then underlined how the role of National Oil/Gas Companies is increasing in the global energy market, giving energy resource-rich governments greater political and economic levers in international affairs. Later in the year Dr Sarkissian will be chairing and leading discussions at the first World Economic Forum on Europe and Central Asia, which will be held on 30 October–1 November in Istanbul, Turkey. The forum will bring together international and regional business leaders and government representatives, as well as media, cultural and religious leaders from across Europe, Turkey, Russia, Central Asia and the Middle East to explore the common challenges faced by the regions and to map the path towards a common collaborative future. Dr. Sarkissian is advisor and has advised the CEOs and Corporate Boards of global companies, including BP, Alcatel, Telefonica, Finmeccanica, and others. He is the founder of several significant investment companies, which invest in major business projects, especially in the energy, high technology, telecom, and real estate sectors. Eurasia House International in London fosters critical dialogue and cooperation among political and business leaders and is involved in bridge building between the West and the vast geographic space extending from Easter Europe to Russia, to the Caspian region and China. |

Former Premier of Armenia discusses Global Risks in Davos DAVOS (28 January 2007) – Every year in late January world political and business leaders, scholars, experts and media representatives from more than 100 countries gathered in Davos, Switzerland for the annual World Economic Forum, 24-28 January. Armen Sarkissian, former Prime Minister of Armenia and President of Eurasia House International, took part in the proceedings as speaker in several panels. The World Economic Forum is the foremost global organization of business, political, intellectual and civic leaders around the world, who are committed to improving the state of the world. The Swiss-based Forum is an independent international organization, whose members represent the world’s 1,000 leading companies, along with 200 smaller businesses. Since 2002 Armen Sarkissian has been a regular speaker in Davos and at other World Economic Forum meetings (including Moscow and Istanbul). In recent years Sarkissian has been a member of World Economic Forum’s Global Risk Network, which identifies key risks to the global economic outlook, the linkages between them, and their likely effect on markets and business. He was a contributor to “Global Risks 2007”, a report presented to the delegates in Davos. The Global Risk Network blends the best intellectual resources available internationally with rigorous, innovative methodology and new technologies. It provides unique tools to assess and manage the global risks that lie ahead and the suggestions to deal with them. Held in the main Congress Centre on the opening day of the Forum, “Addressing Global Fault Lines” was the title of a panel of international experts. Armen Sarkissian -- along with Latvian President Vaira Vike-Freiberga, Swiss Re CEO Jacques Aigrain, Director General of Indian Industry Confederation Shamsher Mehta, and others -- focused on the convergence of major global risks, such as energy security, climate change, geopolitical instability and macroeconomic imbalances. The speakers and discussions highlighted how these processes are increasing the risk premium for global economic activity. On January 27, at an invitation only Investors Industry Meeting on “Risky Business: Geopolitical Risks”, Armen Sarkissian -- together with David M. Rubenstein, founder and Managing Director of The Carlyle Group, and Ethan Kapstein, professor at INSEAD -- spoke about how financial markets assess geopolitical risks and the various instruments used to price such risks. Sarkissian underlined major geopolitical risks that are difficult to hedge against, but suggested different strategies that are available to deal with them in the financial sector. One of the main subjects discussed in Davos was Russia. a session on “Russia's More Muscular Diplomacy” assessed how the country’s growing economy -- buoyed by high oil prices and foreign investments -- is affecting foreign policy and is likely to have an impact on future regional and international developments. Armen Sarkissian’s co-panelists included EU ‘Foreign Minister’ Javier Solana, Russian Economic Development Minister German Gref, First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitri Medvedev, Vice Chairman of Gasprom Alexander Medvedev, Harvard University professor and author Joseph Nye, EU Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs and others. |

Sarkissian Speaks at Economic Forum in Turkey ISTANABUL (24 November 2006) - Dr Armen Sarkissian, former Prime Minister of Armenia and Director of Eurasia Centre at the University of Cambridge, was an invited speaker at the World Economic Forum in Turkey. Opened by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the two-day Forum focused on Turkey’s EU accession issues, regional geopolitics, competitiveness and business opportunities in Turkey and the region. Some four hundred delegates took part in the Forum held in Istanbul. Under the theme “Connecting Regions, Creating New Opportunities”, the conference brought together high-level international business and political leaders, top Turkish business people and government officials. Dr Sarkissian spoke on “Thinking Strategically on Europe’s Risks”, alongside Kursat Tuzman, Minister of State for Foreign Trade of Turkey, Richard McCormack, Vice-Chairman of Merrill Lynch (USA), and others. Sarkissian placed Europe’s energy needs and security in the larger context of Central Eurasia. “We need new thinking about energy dependence and security,” said Sarkissian, explaining that “in the post Cold War and increasingly globalised world, all major states and multinational organisations have dependencies and security needs which could only be mitigated by including smaller players in the process of dialogue”. He drew examples from the Caspian region and it’s increasingly critical role in “East-West” relations. Dr Sarkissian also moderated a panel on Europe’s energy needs. Called “Guardians of Europe's Energy”, the panel discussed Europe’s quest for energy alternatives and its long term energy security. One development is the proposed Nabucco project, a 3,000-km pipeline bringing Iranian and Caspian gas to Europe, estimated to cost € 6 billion. Regarding Turkey’s role, panellist Gareth Evans, president of the Belgium-based International Crisis Group, argued that Turkey’s geopolitical significance leads people to exaggerate its significance in energy. He believes that the geopolitical issues will be a more important factor for Turkey’s potential as an EU member than its role as an energy hub. Others in the panel included Alireza Attar, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Economic Affairs; Werner Auli, CEO and head of Nabucco Project, OMV Gas International; Richard Paniguian, BP Group Vice-President for Russia, CIS, Middle East and Africa; Selahattin Cimen, Turkish Deputy Undersecretary of Energy; and Jan Nahum, CEO of Petrol Ofisi. |
