"NKR" representative to attend Millennium Challenge Compact ceremony

Assembly Board of Trustees Chairman Hirair Hovnanian said: "We are honored that Foreign Minister Oskanian will address our National Conference later this month. We also look forward to Armenia signing the $235 million Millennium Challenge Compact it was recently awarded by the U.S. government."

Oskanian will join Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice at the signing of the five-year Compact which is expected to benefit the lives of 75 percent of Armenia's rural population.
The Conference opens on March 26 with a welcoming reception at the U.S. Botanic Garden featuring special guest, NKR Deputy Foreign Minister Masis Mailian. Assembly leaders will convene earlier that day for their annual Trustees Meeting.

The following day participants will sharpen their advocacy skills during a series of workshops and panel discussions, all leading up to a full day of meetings with elected officials on March 28.
