AUA and AIPRG Sign MOU to Advance Armenian Policy Research
The American University of Armenia (AUA)and the Armenian International
Policy Research Group (AIPRG) signed a memorandum of understanding on June
16, 2004 with the goal of strengthening policy research in Armenia, the
region, and the Diaspora.
As AIPRG-Armenia Chairman, Nerses Yeritsyan, explained, `AUA and AIPRG will
jointly organize conferences and seminars designed to initiate policy
dialogue on important Armenian and Diaspora-related issues, and we look
forward to collaboration on major policy research programs.'
The Armenian International Policy Research Group is a new nonpartisan
association that researches and promotes discussion of public policy issues
both in Armenia and the Diaspora. AIPRG aims to consolidate existing
expertise on Armenian policy issues by bringing together accomplished
researchers and practitioners who specialize in economics, political
science, law, and government affairs.
The American University of Armenia is an affiliate of the University of
California system and is the joint undertaking of the ROA Ministry of
Education and Science and the American University of Armenia Corporation
(AUAC) in the U.S. AUA's Research Centers comprise one of the many
strengths of the University and are important in achieving AUA's objective
of stimulating positive change in Armenia and the region through policy
research and analysis.
AIPRG is housed temporarily in AUA's School of Political Science and
International Affairs and will have the support of the Turpanjian Center for
Policy Analysis. The School's Associate Dean, Dr. Lucig Danielian, stated,
`This is a wonderful opportunity to bring together experts from the Diaspora
and Armenia to address policy solutions to the critical problems facing the
nation and region. Our collaboration will be gearing up soon and we look
forward to making an impact on policy deliberation in Armenia.'
