ARARAT Center: 2009 Activities Summary and Donation Call
December 21, 2009
Dear Friend,
As 2009 draws to its close, we would like to share with you the achievements and successes of the “ARARAT” Center for Strategic Research (“ARARAT”) in this passing year and thank you for your continued support of our activities.
Ever since its establishment in 2006, “ARARAT” has become a leading Armenian think-tank on strategy and security. Complement the word “leading” with the words “independent” and “national” and you will attest to a phenomenon so singular (yet vitally important) in the nascent Armenian strategic-political thought: a leading independent think-tank, which defines, analyzes and advocates the needs and demands of Armenia’s national security from an exclusively Armenian perspective – YOUR perspective.
In such a short span of its existence, “ARARAT” can lay claim to these distinctive achievements:
• Laying solid intellectual ground for the establishment of the Armenian school of strategic thought;
• Identifying the fundamental elements of Armenia’s national security;
• Exploring and defining the cornerstones of the Armenian identity; and
• Disseminating truthful information about Armenia and the Armenians.
