    The Introductory Press Conference of the New ACNIS Director


    Yerevan--As the newly-appointed director of the Armenian Center for
    National and International Studies (ACNIS), well-known analyst Richard
    Giragosian held a press conference today at the "Hayatsk" press-club,
    with many journalists, as well as representatives from radio,
    television and other media outlets in attendance.

    ACNIS director Richard Giragosian presented an overview of the future
    strategy, plans and activities for the coming months while also
    answering a number of journalists' questions.

    "During its rich 15-year history, the Center has garnered a clear
    reputation as a prominent, unbiased and neutral independent research
    institute both within Armenia and throughout the Armenian Diaspora, an
    achievement that will only be enhanced in the future," Giragosian
    said.

    In his opinion, it is the neutrality of the Center that has ensured
    its unique position as a foremost research institution in Armenia. As
    a leading "think tank" in Armenia, the Center conducts a wide range of
    strategic research and analysis of significant public policy issues of
    specific relevance to Armenia. ACNIS strategic research and analysis
    covers five main program areas: public policy, economics,
    international and regional studies, national security studies, and
    global and regional trends.

    In accordance with the Center's commitment to transparency and
    analytical integrity, all of the Center's reports, events, and policy
    recommendations will be freely open and available to the public, civil
    society and all political parties, groups and organizations.



    Founded in 1994, by Armenia's first Minister of Foreign Affairs Raffi
    K. Hovannisian and supported by a global network of contributors,
    ACNIS serves as a link between innovative scholarship and the public
    policy challenges facing Armenia and the Armenian people in the
    post-Soviet world. It also aspires to be a catalyst for creative,
    strategic thinking and a wider understanding of the new global
    environment. In 2008, the Center focuses primarily on civic education,
    democratic development, conflict resolution, and applied research on
    critical domestic and foreign policy issues for the state and the
    nation.
