in a mutitude of conferences and forums where the flexible and creative
diplomacy of small countries is essential.
The lecture will be held at 11.30 am on Friday in the ASEAN Auditorium of
the Tufts University affiliated Diplomacy School. Together with the

Fletcher School. Armenia¹s Foreign Ministry has had a long relationship
with the
Fletcher School, where groups of diplomats and other civil servants have
attended extended certificate programs. This program, sponsored by
philanthropist Aso Tavitian, is continuing today, with 15 mid-career
government personnel currently studying international law, arbitration,
international finance, negotiations and other topics with Fletcher
faculty.
It will be a great pleasure for me to speak at my alma mater, before
professors who introduced complex global issues and encouraged the
exploration for solutions. Today, I search for such solutions every day,
and I will gladly share some of those challenging problems with the
professors, students and friends of the Fletcher School,² said Minister
Oskanian.
