    Policy Forum Armenia (PFA) is pleased to announce the opening of its 2nd
    Annual Forum: "Armenia-Diaspora Relations" in Washington, DC on February
    28-March 2, 2010.

    Armenia-Diaspora relations have never been more strained in the 20 years
    since independence. The Forum will provide an opportunity for policy
    practitioners, academics, and the public to discuss perspectives on and
    approaches to the present-day challenges facing the Armenian nation.

    Day 1 of the Forum (February 28) will be held at the Cosmos Club,
    Washington's premier venue for social and policy events, and will feature
    the presentation of PFA's Report on `Armenia-Diaspora Relations: 20 Years
    Since Independence.' Day 2 of the Forum will be held at Georgetown
    University. This part of the Forum is open to the public, and we invite you
    to join us in Washington for a full day of deliberations on this important
    issue. We are very pleased to inform you that Mr. Raffi Hovannisian,
    Armenia's First Foreign Minister, will deliver the keynote luncheon address
    on Day 2 (March 1). The program for Day 3 (March 2) is limited to young
    professionals and will include thematic meetings with various relevant
    agencies and organizations in order to continue the discussion on
    Armenia-Diaspora relations and offer young professionals opportunities to
    network in Washington.
