    Why is Armenia `Poor'?

    Thursday, November
    21, 2013 @ 7:30PM

    In the Merdinian
    School:13330 Riverside Dr. Sherman Oaks, CA 91403



    Abstract: In the modern age of abundant information and education,
    collaboration is at the heart of true innovation and market
    success. Commitment, Competence and Connectedness are the keys to
    increasing the probability of success. The presenter's experiences
    derived from a 40-year ukhd (pledge) in 1999 to visit Armenia every
    year and help Hayasdan develop into a sustainable and prosperous
    country. Now in the 14th year of this ukhd, what the experiences in
    Armenia have shown and the probable answers to one important question:
    "Why is Armenia `poor', will be discussed? The presentation will try
    to respond to the following questions: Is it due to lack of natural
    resources? Is it due to the twin blockades of Turkey and Azerbaijan?
    Is it because of lack of proper support from Diaspora and the
    international community? Is it due to inadequate governance? Is it due
    to inadequate and outdated educational systems at all levels? Is it
    due to an improper mindset, left over from Soviet times? Is it due to
    lack of strategic planning? These and similar issues will be addressed
    and discussed, in light of his 14 year experiences with Armenia.
