GROWING ARMENIA'S FUTURE: CULTIVATING THE TALENT THAT SUSTAINS TECHNOLOGY, SECURITY, AND DEMOCRACY The annual Armenian Independence Day lecture, delivered by Mary A. Papazian in the St. Vartan Room. THE ARGUMENT The talent of Armenia's people is the resource the country can most readily multiply, and doing so takes deliberate work.
