EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT
“Armenia’s New Choice:
Scenarios for the Economic and Political Future”
Thursday
12 September 2013
16:00-18:00
Marriott Hotel
Sis Hall
The Regional Studies Center (RSC) and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) are holding a joint public event on 12 September, with presentations by a panel comprised of leading analysts and public figures focusing on the recent Armenian decision to join the Russian-led “Customs Union.”
That decision effectively canceled Armenia’s planned “initialing” of a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) agreement with the European Union (EU) that, along with a pending Association Agreement, was to be concluded at the Vilnius Summit in late November 2013.
This event will offer a neutral platform to examine the issues and implications from Armenia’s decision to join the Customs Union, with speakers providing objective assessments of the “pros and cons” of the move. Moreover, the event is an opportunity for public education and debate over this important issue, which despite a flurry of media coverage, was never publicly discussed in such a format.
The event will be in English and Armenian, with simultaneous translation provided.
We look forward to having you join us for this event and, once the agenda is confirmed, we will be circulating the detailed program shortly.
