    ADJUTANT GENERAL TO TAKE PART IN DISCUSSION ON TURKISH-ARMENIAN BORDER


    TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 5 -- The Kansas Adjutant General issued the
    following news release:

    Maj. Gen. Tod Bunting, the adjutant general, will be a participant in
    a round-table discussion on issues related to the recent announcement
    that Turkey and Armenia have agreed in principle to normalize the
    border between the two nations. Bunting's presentation will be
    "Overview of the Armenia-Kansas State Partnership Program."

    The discussion, "Turkish-Armenian Border: Challenges and Implications
    of Change," will be held Monday, Feb. 8, from 3 to 5 p.m. in Parlors
    A, B and C of the Kansas Union on the University of Kansas campus,
    Lawrence. The event is sponsored by the university's Center for
    Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies, along with the
    departments of Geography and Sociology, the Kansas National Guard and
    Fort Leavenworth's Command and General Staff College.

    In addition to Bunting, the event will feature presentations by
    representatives from Fort Leavenworth's Command and General Staff
    College and Foreign Military Studies Office and KU faculty members.

    Since 2003, the Kansas National Guard has been partnered with the
    Republic of Armenia through the State Partnership Program, a National
    Guard program that partners the National Guard with developing nations
    to foster military-to-military, military-to-civilian and
    civilian-to-civilian relationships. Bunting and other members of the
    Kansas National Guard, as well as representatives from law
    enforcement, education, medicine, agriculture and other professions,
    have visited Armenia several times and representatives from various
    Armenian military and civilian organizations have come to Kansas for
    training, discussions and other events. Soldiers of the Armenian
    Peacekeeping Brigade have deployed to serve alongside soldiers from
    the United States and other coalition forces.

    Recently, members of the Kansas National Guard's 190th Civil
    Engineering Squadron deployed to Armenia to construct a warehouse for
    an Expeditionary Medical System mobile hospital purchased by the
    Armenians.For more information please contact: Sarabjit Jagirdar,
