    Press Release

    On February 14, a new page was turned and a new chapter opened with the
    launch of Policy Forum Armenia (PFA), an independent professional
    non-profit association aimed at strengthening discourse on Armenia's
    economic development and national security. In both substance and form,
    PFA transcends the traditional bounds of Diasporan involvement in
    Armenia's nation-building process. Through its hybrid operations as a
    think tank and advocacy group, PFA aims to help shape public policy in
    Armenia by offering alternative views and professional analysis on
    various issues pertaining to Armenia's economic welfare and national
    security, culminating in innovative and practical recommendations.

    The organization's main asset is its worldwide network of professionals
    and leaders who are dedicated to bringing about a new brand of
    involvement in Armenia's development in their respective fields. While
    historically the Diaspora has focused on philanthropic endeavors, PFA
    intends to help Armenia bring about self-sustaining change through the
    creation of an informed public and more effective and accountable
    government. Just a glimpse at the impressive assemblage of diverse
    professionals and leaders that comprise PFA suffices to demonstrate the
    magnitude of this organization's potential reach.

    Some of the major issues that PFA aims to tackle include (but are not
    limited to) Human Rights in Armenia, Armenia-Diaspora relations,
    Financial development in Armenia, Environmental issues and U.S.-Armenia
    relations. PFA divides its projects among members who have the education
    and real-world experience necessary to achieve a practical, working
    solution to the aforementioned issues facing the Republic of Armenia.

    The State of the Nation Report is PFA's flagship product. To be
    published bi-annually, the State of the Nation Report will provide a
    critical assessment of processes taking place in Armenia and offer
    recommendations on key policy issues. This comprehensive report will
    analyze and constructively criticize all of the issues mentioned above
    in hopes of improving pertinent aspects of public policy, cultural
    issues and international relations. The State of the Nation Report will
    be geared toward a readership consisting of government officials,
    businessmen and all other public figures who have a stake in the
    political and economic growth of Armenia.

    PFA hopes to work with the Armenian government along with the private
    sector in an effort to resolve problems surrounding the economic
    conditions, social developments and international relations facing
    Armenia. With a dedicated group of capable intellectuals and
    professionals, PFA just may be the forum that helps Armenia achieve its
    full potential.
