Event: TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, PART II
CHALLENGES TO ARMENIA-DIASPORA RELATIONS
FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 2012 7:30 PM
From the first rumblings of independence in 1989 to policy clashes on the Armenia-Turkey
protocols, the pullout of the Lincy Foundation from Armenia and the alienation of diasporan
investors and philanthropists, relations between the diaspora and Armenia appear to be more
strained than ever. What are the consequences of a standoff? Can the diaspora meaningfully
participate in the affairs of the homeland? What can be done collectively and individually to build
new bridges of mutual respect and cooperation?
Policy Forum Armenia has issued a timely report on Armenia-Diaspora Relations that identifies key
issues, distinguishes myths from reality, and examines perspectives from both sides. It will serve as the
basis for a thought-provoking, solutions-seeking discussion with distinguished panelists.
