Eastern Region-sponsored internship at the Permanent Mission of Armenia
to the UN kicked off last week. This unique, highly competitive, and
multifaceted internship program-now in its second year-has brought in
some of the best and brightest from the world to New York, where they
will gain valuable experience while having a direct impact on urgent
Armenian issues, such as the safety and security of Nagorno-Karabagh.
The ANCA-ER sponsored interns to the Armenian Mission to the UN for
2011 are Christine Maydossian, Andre Arzoo, Garine Ashjian, Nathalie
Demirjian, Narine Atamian and Sosse Beugekian.
The ANCA-ER sponsored interns to the Armenian Mission to the UN for
2011 are Christine Maydossian, Andre Arzoo, Garine Ashjian, Nathalie
Demirjian, Narine Atamian and Sosse Beugekian. These six interns
prevailed in a highly competitive application process based on their
levels of experience in the field of international relations, their
outstanding academic achievements and involvement in the Armenian
community. "This year's group of interns is particularly talented
and knowledgeable," said Ani Tchaghlasian, the chair of the ANCA-ER
UN Internship Committee. "We are confident that they will prove to
be incredibly helpful to the Mission and gain invaluable experience
for their future careers."
The first three weeks of the internship will give the interns an
opportunity to acquire hands-on experience at the United Nations,
working directly with the Armenian delegation at the Permanent Mission
of Armenia to the UN. The last week of the internship will include
a series of intensive lectures and workshops on the most pressing
issues facing Armenia and the Armenian nation today.
At the Armenian Mission, the interns will apply their professional
and volunteer experience to prepare diplomatic reports and conduct
research on UN activity as it relates to Armenia, its neighbors,
and other nations in the region. They will assist the Mission in its
efforts to build relations with other countries and educate diplomats
on Armenian issues, and with its long-term and day-to-day projects.
The last week of the internship will include a series of intensive
lectures and workshops on the most pressing issues confronting Armenia
and the Armenian Nation. These topics include human rights in the
Caucusus, the geopolitics of the region, reparations, women's rights,
public health and education in Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh, Javakhk,
Hamshin Armenians, and Armeno-Turkish relations. Organizations and
speakers for these topics include Amnesty International; Human Rights
Watch; Robert Avetisyan, the representative of the Nagorno Karabagh
Republic to the U.S.; and Khatchig Mouradian from the Armenian Weekly.
