YEREVAN.- The Armenian Assembly's 2011 Summer Internship Program
(SIP) in Armenia is currently in its twelfth year. Since the program's
inception in 1999, seventy-four interns have participated, working in
various government offices, media outlets, non-governmental
organizations, and think-tanks.
This year's intern class includes Anzhela Babayan and Ishkhanuhi
Matevosyan from California, as well as Julia Madden and Tatevik
Babayan from Massachusetts. Anzhela and Tatevik are interning at the
Regional Studies Center (RSC), a Yerevan think-tank managed by
well-known political scientist Richard Giragosian.
While Ishkhanuhi is splitting her time between the Ministry of
Education and Science and the Ministry of Economics, Julia Madden is
interning in the National Competitiveness Council of Armenia.
Over the course of their two-month stay, interns will have the
opportunity to visit places of interest throughout Armenia and
Nagorno-Karabakh, meet with various government officials and important
figures to discuss issues of concern, and also experience life in
Armenia.
Interns have upcoming meetings with His Holiness Catholicos of All
Armenians, the Armenian Minister of Defense, U.S. Charge D'Affaires,
Armenia's Ombudsman, and the Mayor of Yerevan, among others.
As part of their homeland experience, the interns are also afforded
the opportunity to visit key historical and cultural sites, which have
already included the Temple of Garni and the Geghard Monastery, as
well as observing the Ani ruins from the Armenian-Turkish border.
