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
