12:49, June 4, 2013
On official visit to the American capital, Raffi K. Hovannisian met
with Deputy Secretary of State Eric Rubin on June 3. In a private
meeting at the Department of State, they discussed not only Armenia’s
domestic democratic challenges, but also its international challenges,
including a righteous resolution to the conflict surrounding the
Mountainous Karabakh Republic and a true recognition of the Armenian
Genocide and Great National Dispossession of 1915.
On the same day Hovannisian delivered a keynote address to an audience
of diplomats, policy-makers, and intellectuals at the George Washington
University Law School. The event, “A Conversation on Armenia,” was
co-sponsored by the Institute for European, Russian, and Eurasian
Studies, Policy Forum Armenia, and the Armenian Bar Association.
After the event he gave interviews to representatives of the local
and international media.
