International criminal law expert Nicholas Koumjian to speak at Armenian Cause 2.0

PanARMENIAN.Net - Nicholas Koumjian, a leader in international genocide and war crimes prosecutions, will speak at Armenian Cause 2.0, the Armenian National Committee of America’s conference, being held in Washington from June 24-27, on the future of Armenian American advocacy.

Nicholas Koumjian (Pennsylvania State University, B.A.; University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, J.D., and; University of Southern California, MBA), an internationally known and widely respected lawyer specializing in international criminal law, has more than a decade of hands-on experience helping to prosecute war crimes and genocide around the world.

“We are pleased to announce that Nicholas Koumjian will be joining with Associate Dean for International and Comparative Legal Studies at George Washington University’s Law School Susan Karamanian, Dr. Jermaine McCalpin, an expert on reparations and reconciliation, and Kate Nahapetian, ANCA’s Government Affairs Director, for what will surely be a remarkable panel on Armenian rights, Turkish reparations, and international responsibilities related to the Armenian Genocide,” said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. “Mr. Koumjian’s participation will add a special practical and prosecutorial dimension to our discussions and, no doubt, add greatly to our community’s discourse on the path forward toward a truthful and just resolution of the Armenian Genocide.”

Armenian Cause 2.0’s full schedule of educational workshops and interactive presentations – including speakers such as POLITICO’s National Politics Editor Charles Mahtesian, former U.S. Ambassador to Armenia, John Evans, and start-up internet investor Haig Kayserian – will be complemented by social and networking opportunities, such as a dinner reception at the Armenian Embassy hosted by Armenian Ambassador to the United States Tatoul Markarian.
