public's enthusiasm for informed discussion regarding current issues of
serious concern to Armenians.
Among the topics to be explored are mechanisms of transnational

personalities and scholars including Gov. George Deukmejian, Amb. John
Evans, Attorney Mark Geragos, Journalist Mark Arax, Publisher Harut

academic milieu. The symposium is open to the public. Complimentary
