Civilitas Foundation honorary board member Serj Tankian is reuniting with fellow band members of System of a Down - drummer John Dolmayan, guitarist/volcalist Daron Malkian and bassist Shavo Odadjian – to make a comeback. Their first concert will be in North America on Tuesday, May 10 at Rexall Place in Edmonton, Alberta. The date is part of a seven-city tour with gypsy punk Gogol Bordello and includes stops at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Seattle, Mountain View, Denver, Albuquerque, and Las Vegas.
The band has not toured North American in five years. In June the band will also travel to Europe to give concerts in UK, Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, Austria and Russia. More tour dates will be announced on systemofadown.com along the way.
Recently Tankian also collaborated with Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson. Their track “The Hunger”, taken from Serj’s rock musical “Prometheus Bound”, was released on iTunes on March 1st with all proceeds to benefit Amnesty International.

With the support of Norwegian and German governments, a few months ago the Civilitas Foundation began to conduct polls throughout Armenia. The results of the polls will be made available to the media and will serve as the topic of public discussions.
