Armenia’s Political Future- Artur Baghdasaryan, Speaker of the
National Assembly of Armenia
August 31, 2005
Washington, DC
Organized by: Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Please join the CSIS Russia and Eurasia Program’s Caucasus Initiative
for a seminar with the Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia
Artur Baghdasaryan. The Speaker will discuss regional trends of
importance to the South Caucasus today and the current political
situation in Armenia.
In 1999, Artur Baghdasaryan founded the Orinats Yerkir (Country of
Law) centrist-right party, which is now one of the most active
political establishments in Armenia, sharing power with two other
major Armenian parties: the Republican Party and the Dashnaktsutyun.
Baghdasaryan has been proactive in his efforts to make parliament a
more efficient and transparent institution, with greater citizen
participation.
The National Assembly plays an increasingly important role in Armenian
politics and Armenia’s foreign policy. Since volatile elections in
2003, the National Assembly has asserted itself as one of the most
viable forces for democratic change in Armenia. We hope you will be
able to join us for this unique opportunity.
