Tuesday, September 18th
LOS ANGELES - Edward Nalbandian, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of
Armenia, will speak before the Los Angeles World Affairs Council at a
time of heightened tension in the southern Caucasus between Armenia
and its neighbor Azerbaijan. The lecture titled `Armenia in a troubled
region' will be held on Monday September 24, 2012 7.30 p, at the
InterContinental Hotel, 2151 Ave. of the Stars
The conflict between land-locked Armenia and oil-rich Azerbaijan was
exacerbated recently when an Azeri army officer was convicted of
hacking to death an Armenian on a NATO course - and was subsequently
given a hero's welcome on his return to Azerbaijan. In addition to
this immediate threat, the Foreign Minister will talk about his
country's relations with NATO, Russia and Iran, and its difficulties
in normalizing relations with Turkey. And he will address Armenia's
relations with the United States, and the influence Washington can
bring to bear on the volatile region of the southern Caucasus.
Foreign Minister Nalbandian's career as a diplomat began in the
embassy of the former Soviet Union in Lebanon in 1982. After Armenia's
independence from the USSR he served as the Ambassador of Armenia to
Egypt, France, Israel and the Vatican before taking up his position as
Minister of Foreign Affairs in 2008.
