Armenia’s President pays working visit to USA
President of Armenia Armen Sarkissian has departed for the United States on a working visit.
On October 3 President Sarkissian will participate in EastWest Institute’s Annual Awards Gala in New York.
This year the John Edwin Mroz Global Statesman Award will be given to President of Armenia Armen Sarkissian.
Previously the annual awards of the Institute were given to 41st President of the United States George Bush, former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kiesinger, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blare, former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, and others.
EastWest Institute was established in 1980. It is an international not-for-profit, non-partisan "think and do" tank focusing on international conflict resolution through a variety of means, including track 2 diplomacy and track 1.5 diplomacy (conducted with the direct involvement of official actors), hosting international conferences, and authoring publications on international security issues.
The organization employs networks in political, military, and business establishments in the United States, Europe, and the former Soviet Union.
