    LECTURE AT NAASR BY RAZMIK PANOSSIAN ON POST-SOVIET ARMENIAN POLITICS


    Dr. Razmik Panossian of the International Centre for Human Rights and
    Democratic Development in Montreal, Canada, will give a lecture entitled
    "Change without Transition: Politics in Post-Soviet Armenia" on Monday,
    June 9, at 7:30 p.m., at the National Association for Armenian Studies
    and Research (NAASR) Center, 395 Concord Ave., Belmont, MA. Dr
    Panossian's lecture will be co-sponsored by NAASR and the Armenian
    Relief Society Summer Youth Program.

    Panossian's lecture will examine the challenges contemporary Armenia
    faces in its post-Soviet transition. It will focus primarily on the
    political processes that have led to regime changes, including
    problematic elections and violence, the long-term consequences of the
    Karabagh conflict, and the role of the diaspora.

    Dr. Razmik Panossian is the author of The Armenians: From Kings and
    Priests to Merchants and Commissars (Columbia University Press), which
    traces the evolution of Armenia and Armenian collective identity from
    its beginnings down to the present day. Panossian received a Ph.D. from
    the London School of Economics and Political Science. His dissertation
    won the 2001 Lord Bryce Prize for Best Dissertation in Comparative and
    International Politics, awarded by the UK Political Studies Association.
    He is currently the Director of Programmes and Policy at the
    International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic Development.

    The ARS Summer Youth Program is a pilot program aiming at bringing
    college age Armenian students together for one week to connect them with
    each other as well as familiarize them with various Armenian
    organizations and institutions headquartered in the greater Boston area.
    The program also provides an opportunity for Armenian college students
    to explore possibilities of internships with various organizations both
    in the United States and Armenia. The program is directed by Dr. Asbed
    Kotchikian.

    Admission to the event is free (donations appreciated). The NAASR
    Center is located opposite the First Armenian Church and next to the
    U.S. Post Office. Ample parking is available around the building and in
    adjacent areas. The lecture will begin promptly at 7:30 p.m.

    More information about the lecture is available by calling 617-489-1610,
