Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On November 16, the Los Angeles World Affairs Council has invited
NKR President Arkady Ghoukasian to speak at the Council’s dinner
program from a stage that regularly features world leaders such as
Britain’s Prime Minister Tony Blair, U.S. Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice, presidents of foreign countries, major
philanthropists, religious leaders and best-selling authors. Please
consider attending this event and also spread the information about
it among the membership of your organizations, family and friends.

His Excellency Arkady Ghoukassian
President of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic

Thursday, November 16, 7:30 p.m.
Westin Bonaventure Hotel
404 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90071

This speaking engagement is a great opportunity for independent
Artsakh to spread its story from such a respected podium. The
President plans to speak about Artsakh’s efforts to gains
international recognition of its right to live in freedom, develop
democratic institutions and a full-fledged market economy.

In addition, President Ghoukasian has recently announced that he
will not be seeking a new term in office when his second five-year
term expires next year. Although the first-ever NKR Constitution, to
be adopted at a national referendum this December, would allow him
to run again, President Ghoukasian cited the paramount importance of
Karabakh’s continued democratic development as the main reason for
his decision. President Ghoukasian 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.

We encourage our Armenian-American compatriots residing in the
greater Los Angeles area to attend this unique event, thus showing
your interest and support for Artsakh, as well as your appreciation
to the LA World Affairs Council for hosting Artsakh’s President.

Please call the LA World Affairs Council at (213) 628-2333 or visit
to register for the event and
get directions, if needed.

I look forward to seeing you there,
