ASSEMBLY GEARS UP FOR ANNUAL TRUSTEES MISSION TO ARMENIA, KARABAKH
Washington, DC - The Assembly is leading its 10th Trustee Mission to
Armenia and Karabakh, a unique 12-day trip that includes expert guided
tours in and around Armenia and meetings with top U.S., Armenia and
Karabakh government officials.
This year's excursion begins October 19 in London, England, where
Mission Leader Annie Totah will greet travelers before departing for
Yerevan. Once in Armenia, participants will take a driving tour of
the capital, stopping along the way to take in their surroundings.
Additional tour stops will include the Genocide Museum and Memorial at
Tsitsernakabert, Khor Virab, Lake Sevan and Vernisage. During an
optional two-day trip to Karabakh, travelers can also visit
Stepanakert, Shushi and other sites around the country.
Mission participants will also meet with several high-ranking
government officials. In previous years, the group has met with
Armenia's President Robert Kocharian, Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian
and Karbakah's President Arkady Ghoukasian, to name a few.
"On the occasion of the 10-year anniversary of the Assembly Mission,
I am delighted to once again lead this trip to the homeland," Totah
said. "For most participants, the trip will be a memorable, bonding
and exhilarating experience that will be cherished for years to
come."
Totah has also made special arrangements for a welcoming reception for
those travelers who will be in London on October 18.
