Spotlight / Visits

Marcus Meckel, a member of the German Parliament, visited Civilitas in late February. A political scientist, former East German dissident, and theologian, he was in Armenia as part of an information gathering visit. Mr. Meckel, a member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, is also involved with various German foundations and supports, among other things, a study of the effects of Communism on democratization.

Mr. Meckel expressed concern about domestic developments in Armenia and hope for the development of stronger social and political institutions.
