    Mr. Armen Harutyunyan, the Human Rights Defender of the Republic
    of Armenia since 2007, will be visiting the City of Ann Arbor and
    the University of Michigan Armenian Studies Program on April 9 and
    10. Mr. Harutyunyan is on a US State Department sponsored tour of the
    United States and will be having meetings related to human rights on
    the international, national, and local level in three other cities
    as well.

    Mr. Harutyunyan has extensive experience in the development of human
    rights laws in Armenia and intensive training in European universities
    on the subject.

    While in Michigan, Mr. Harutyunyan will be hosted by the International
    Center of the University of Michigan. The program for his first
    day in Ann Arbor has been set by the Armenian Studies Program of
    the University.

    On April 9 Mr. Harutyunyan will first meet the Armenian Studies
    faculty, followed by a luncheon meeting with faculty from the Center
    for International and Comparative Studies, which has a strong program
    in human rights; the Center for Russian and East European Studies; the
    Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies; the Center for
    European Studies; the Ford School of Public Policy, and the Michigan
    Law School.

    Mr. Harutyunyan will deliver a public lecture in the Koessler Room
    of the Michigan League on human r ights issues in Armenia and the
    South Caucasus.

    "This is a rare opportunity," stated Prof. Gerard Libaridian, Director
    of the Armenian Studies Program at the University of Michigan, "to
    hear directly from the Human Rights Defender of Armenia regarding the
    human rights situation in Armenia and develop a constructive dialog
    with him worldwide."
