    NKR PRESIDENT ARKADY GHUKASYAN TO SPEAK AT LA WORLD AFFAIRS COUNCIL

    Public Radio, Armenia
    Nov 13 2006

    After completing his visit to the East Coast communities, rallying
    support for the upcoming Armenia Fund's 9th Annual International
    Telethon, NKR President Arkady Ghukasyan will leave Detroit for Los
    Angeles today.

    President Arkady Ghukasyan is scheduled to speak at the Los Angeles
    World Affairs Council's dinner reception at the Westin Bonaventure
    Hotel on Thursday, November 16, 2006 at 7:30pm. The Council hosts
    heads of states and high-ranking government officials to speak to its
    members. This past summer, the Council hosted Her Majesty's Prime
    Minister Tony Blair of the United Kingdom and H.E. Sergei Lavrov,
    Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.

    President Ghukasyan will use this opportunity to share his views on
    the future of Karabakh, its relations with neighboring countries,
    its place in the international community and the prospects for greater
    US-NKR engagement.

    The President is the Guest of Honor at Armenia Fund's Annual Gala,
    which will take place on November 19 at the Omni Los Angeles Hotel at
    the California Plaza. The event will highlight the 15th anniversary
    of independent Republics of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh and as well
    as celebrate Armenia Fund's mission of rebuilding the homeland since
    independence. Armenian jazz singer Datevik Hovanesian and her quartet
    will perform live during the gala. The premier sold out event is set
    to welcome Armenia Fund's long time donors and supporters as well as
    heads of major Armenian-American organizations and churches.

    In Los Angeles President Ghukasyan is scheduled to meet with select
    Armenia Fund donors and supporters, as well as with the leaders of
    major Armenian-American organizations. The President is to appear
    live during Armenia Fund's 9th Annual International Telethon. The
    live 12 hour television program will be held on Thanksgiving Day,
    November 23, 8:00AM-8:00PM PST. Proceeds from the event will benefit
    the Hadrut Regional Development project which, among other projects,
    includes the reconstruction of a regional hospital and the purchase of
    5 new ambulances, the construction of new local schools, agricultural
    development programs, as well as the construction of drinking water
    and irrigation networks.
