As you all know, ABC is a non-political organisation, which also presumes that we do not have a collective stance on political matters. However, ABC is a network of professionals, whose views we value and appreciate and whose work we aim to promote.

Therefore we proudly announce that an ABC member, Tigran Mkrtchyan, has been invited to deliver a lecture at the International Institute of Strategic Studies in London on " Normalising Armenian-Turkish Relations: Prospects and Regional Implications".

It is an honor for us that Mr. Mkrtchyan, a member of ABC's Research Committee, and a professional in his field, will be giving a lecture at such prestigious institution, hence, if you are in London on Monday 23 November 2009, we cordially invite you to the lecture where you will hear proper, well-informed and analyzed arguments on this vital issue that concerns us all.
