    PANEL DISCUSSION - `ARMENIAN IDENTITY IN THE 21ST CENTURY'


    GLENDALE, CA - On Sunday, February 22, 2015, the Armenian Identity
    Movement ("AIM") invites members of the community to a panel discussion
    on the current status of, and the challenges facing Armenian identity in
    Southern California, to be held at Glendale Public Library at 3:00pm
    PST.

    For the past several decades, the internet has been changing how people
    share and absorb new information. Globalization is threatening the
    sovereignty of small nations and the identity of their peoples. The
    accelerated pace of assimilation of new generations among diasporan
    communities has become a grave concern. The Armenian nation and its
    diaspora in Southern California are no exception, and must also address
    how to deal with these challenges.

    The panel will bring together voices from many different perspectives to
    discuss these challenges through a question and answer format. The
    discussion will touch on many aspects of identity, including, "What is
    the current state of Armenian identity in Southern California?" and "How
    can we promote Armenian identity among the community?"

    The panelists include:

    * Father Vazken Movsesian, A priest of the Armenian Church
    * Tsoline Konialian-Matossian, Psy.D., Clinical Psychologist and
    Mother
    * Maral Voskian, Elementary Armenian language instructor at AGBU
    Manoogian-Demirdjian School
    * Edgar Martirosyan, Attorney and activist
    * Armen Manuk-Khaloyan, Armenian Studies and History Master's
    candidate at CSUN
    * Kevork Kurdoghlian, UCLA Political Science bachelor's candidate

    The panel discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A. We strongly
    encourage all members of the Southern California Armenian community,
    especially parents and youth, as well as other concerned individuals to
    attend.

    About Armenian Identity Movement

    Armenian Identity Movement ("AIM") is an organization that has been
    developed to address the challenges of maintaining the Armenian identity
    among diasporan communities. Its vision is to develop a conscious,
    modern and inclusive Armenian Identity among the Armenian Diaspora. Its
    mission is to act as a platform to create programs that explore and
    reinvigorate the Armenian identity. It seeks to design programs that
    help build a modern, open and positive sense of not only "being"
    Armenian, but also "feeling" Armenian - a feeling that is ingrained with
    the knowledge of an informed and conscious identity.
