    Former Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian will give a talk
    entitled "Speaking To Be Heard: A Statesman Looks Back," on Wed.,
    June 17, at 7 p.m. at Bentley University's LaCava Center on the
    Bentley campus in Waltham, Mass. The lecture is co-sponsored by the
    National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) and
    the Bentley Global Studies Department.

    Oskanian served as Armenia's foreign minister for a decade before
    leaving office last year. Having previously served as deputy foreign
    minister and first deputy foreign minister, he was Armenia's chief
    negotiator in the Karabagh peace talks from 1993 to 2008. He has
    been a witness to and a participant in the historic events that have
    shaped the Republic of Armenia's place in the world since achieving
    independence.

    An eloquent speaker, Oskanian has just issued a volume of his speeches
    as foreign minister. Published by the Civilitas Foundation in Yerevan,
    of which Oskanian is the founder, Speaking To Be Heard: A Decade of
    Speeches, edited by Civilitas Foundation director Salpi Ghazarian,
    contains more than 90 speeches. NAASR is the North American distributor
    for the book. Speaking To Be Heard will be on sale and available for
    signing the night of the talk.

    Oskanian holds a master's degree in international law and diplomacy
    from the Fletcher School of International Law and Diplomacy at Tufts
    University, as well as a master's degree in structural engineering
    from Tufts. This will be his only appearance in the Boston area.

    The talk is free and open to the public. Parking is available
    in Bentley lots L1 and L6 adjacent to the LaCava Center. For
