    On February 25, 2010, the U.S. Embassy in Armenia, the Armenian
    Ministry of Science and Education, American Councils/ACCELS, and
    program alumni commemorated the 15-year anniversary of the Future
    Leaders Exchange (FLEX) Program in Armenia. U.S. Ambassador to Armenia
    Marie L. Yovanovitch and Armenian Minister of Science and Education
    Armen Ashotyan delivered keynote remarks, informs the press office
    of the US embassy to Armenia.

    In her remarks, Ambassador Yovanovitch noted that, "The FLEX program is
    an example of the strong educational partnership that has flourished
    between the United States and Armenia. Both countries recognize that
    international education and cultural exchanges are an investment
    in global understanding and peace. Both countries also know that
    the exchange of people and ideas is essential to the promotion
    of democracy, economic prosperity, international cooperation, and
    security around the world."

    Established by the U.S. Congress in 1992 to encourage long-lasting
    peace and mutual understanding between the U.S. and countries of
    Eurasia, FLEX is a program of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural
    Affairs of the U.S. Department of State. In Armenia it is administered
    by American Councils. The program provides opportunities for high
    school students (ages 15-17) to spend a year in the United States,
    living with a host family and attending an American high school.

    Nearly 700 high school students from Armenia have studied in the U.S.

    under FLEX since its inception. Program alumni from Armenia are
    leaders in their fields, working in local government, international
    organizations, civil society, and business.
