    Tatul Hakobyan Will Co-ordinate ANI Centre

    18:04, January 2, 2015


    Tatul Hakobyan, who is a journalist and a specialist on the conflicts
    in the Caucasus, will co-ordinate the activities of the
    newly-established ANI Foundation for Armenian Studies.

    "ANI is being set up at a time when a gap is being felt in objective
    and comprehensive publications on the domestic political life,
    demographics, the economy, border communities, the region, and
    Homeland-Diaspora affairs in Armenia and Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).
    We aim to filling that gap with our work," Hakobyan said.

    ANI will prepare reports on current issues pertaining to Armenia's
    domestic and foreign policy, economy, agriculture, as well as the
    Diaspora - including communities in the former Soviet Union -
    Armenia-Turkey relations, and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The
    centre will organize conferences, round tables, releases of relevant
    books, and various other projects related to Armenian Studies.

    "There is sometimes a lack of critical thought based on the Armenian
    agenda in the Homeland and the Diaspora. ANI will attempt at providing
    its own input in that regard by presenting not just ideas and
    proposals, but also approaches to reasonable and feasible solutions,"
    Hakobyan said. He emphasized that the publications by ANI must be of
    benefit for institutions and individuals in the Diaspora to have more
    involvement and investments in Armenia's border communities, to begin
    with in order to develop the villages immediately bordering
    Azerbaijan.

    He said that ANI will closely follow goings-on in Armenia-Iran and
    Armenia-Georgia relations, given that, upon membership in the Eurasian
    Economic Union, the co-operation between Armenia and its two immediate
    neighbours will receive a different context and character.

    Before joining ANI, Hakobyan had two decades of experience in
    journalism at the Ankakhutyun,Yerkir, and Azg newspapers, the RadioLur
    programme at the Public Radio of Armenia, the English-language
    Armenian-American weekly Armenian Reporter, the Civilitas Foundation
    and its onlineCivilNet broadcasts. From 2005 to 2012, he was
    associated with the Armenian-language service of SBS Radio, based in
    Sydney, Australia. Hakobyan has been the Yerevan correspondent for the
    Armenian-language Aztag daily of Beirut since 2005.

    Tatul Hakobyan was recognised as the journalist of the year by the
    Yerevan Press Club in 2005 for his reports on the region. He also
    received an award from that organisation in 2009 for his bookKarabakh
    Diary: Green and Black. Another book by Hakobyan - Armenians and
    Turks: From War to Cold War to Diplomacy - was awarded the Haigashen
    Ouzounian Literary Prize by the Tekeyan Cultural Association in 2014.
