Professor Grigoryan was among several members of the Lehigh Faculty honored at a reception on Monday in Linderman Library.  The reception was spotlighting the books published by faculty over the past year.  A collection of essays and speeches on Armenia-Turkish relations and the Karabagh conflict, by independent Armenia's first president, Levon Ter-Petrossian, which was edited by Professor Grigoryan was among the books recognized at the reception.

Armenia's Failed Democratic Transition

In a recent conference at the University of South California, Professor Arman Grigoryan discussed why some former Soviet Republics were successful in their transition to democracy, while others were not.  Specifically, why had the country of Armenia been unsuccessful in becoming a prosperous democratic state?  “In the first half of the nineties, Armenia was often referred to in the Western media as an ‘island of democracy,’” said Grigoryan.
