    THE HRAYR MAROUKHIAN FOUNDATION IS ACTIVELY PURSUING ITS AIMS

    February 16, 2012

    In its continuous efforts to disseminate information about social
    democracy in Armenia, the Hrayr Maroukhian Foundation, in cooperation
    with the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, has begun translating the FES
    Academy of Social Democracy's "Economics and Social Democracy,"
    (Simon Vaut et al.).

    Last year the Hrayr Maroukhian Foundation, in cooperation with the
    Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, launched this series of translations with the
    first reader titled "Foundations of Social Democracy," which discussed
    the basic values, goals and meanings of social democracy. A thousand
    copies of the book were printed and passed out to academicians,
    economists, politicians, youth groups, and students.

    This year, the second volume will provide a more detailed analysis
    of how economic systems and policies can work to espouse social
    democratic principles. The translation of "Economics and Social
    Democracy" will be available in April, 2012.

    The Hrayr Maroukhian Foundation has begun the second phase of "Social
    Reforms in Armenia" policy papers. Last year, the HMF successfully
    prepared and presented recommendations to improve the healthcare,
    housing and employment sectors in Armenia. This year, the Hrayr
    Maroukhian Foundation's new working groups are undertaking three new
    sectors in need of reforms; Agriculture, Mining and Education. Experts
    will be examining the current state of these areas and recommending
    alternative, original and applicable solutions from a social democratic
    perspective. The final studies will be published by mid-June.

    Late last year, in cooperation with Yerkir Media, and funded by the
    Norwegian Foreign Ministry, the Hrayr Maroukhian Foundation produced
    six television episodes about the challenges and achievements of women
    in Armenia. The segments highlighted the difficulties encountered
    by women in private and public life, while showcasing the positive
    impact they have had in the development of Armenian society.

    Through this documentary, HMF was able to recognize some of the most
    resilient and influential women of Armenia who have broken barriers
    and who are charting a new course for future generations.
