March 10 - dual-citizenship, bilateral trade, exports/import to/from Azerbaijan and US Census Bureau seminar in Los Angeles
On March 10, 2010, at 5:30pm, the U.S. Azeris Network (USAN) will kick-off its one-of-a-kind seminar series in Los Angeles, CA, on the question most often raised by our members. First, the Consulate General of Azerbaijan has kindly accepted to answer questions from the Azerbaijani-American community, the Turkish-American community, and our friends, about the possibility and implications of dual (double) citizenship between Azerbaijan and the U.S., bilateral investment treaty, repatriation of profits, double taxation, how to open a new business in Azerbaijan, and export/import procedures. USAN will share the official U.S. position on the subject of dual (double) citizenship. This will be a jam-packed information session with never-before articulated information shared with the participants - you definitely don't want to miss it and should prepare to take a lot of notes! This will clarify all the questions and concerns that the Azerbaijani-Americans have been sharing with USAN over the past years. You must RSVP for the event: http://California.USAzeris.org <http://california.USAzeris.org>
Additionally, for the first time for our Los Angeles diaspora, a special presentation will be made by the U.S. Census Bureau official, followed by a Question and Answer session. The 2010 census will begin on April 1, 2010, and is of utmost importance for all Azerbaijani-Americans, and larger Turkic-American community, for reasons ranging from distribution of grants, to improvement of public and community services, to getting federal and state funding for accredited Azerbaijani and Turkish language schools, to representation in Congress. Basically, if Azerbaijani-Americans want better schools, hospitals, roads, better police and more fire stations, more scholarships for universities, more Azerbaijani and Turkic community events, they should attend the session. Note that the census counts *everybody*irrespective of their citizenship and type of visa.
Back on September 17, 2009, USAN, and its sister organization U.S. Turkic Network (USTN), became the first-ever Azerbaijani-American and
Turkic-American organizations that have officially partnered with the United States Census Bureau, thus ensuring that each of our members, as well as Azerbaijani-American and Turkic-American residents understand the importance of participating in the 2010 Census. We are very excited to partner with the Census Bureau on this important initiative and committed to helping increase overall participation in 2010. As part of this vital initiative we have placed all relevant materials at a dedicated website, http://census2010.usazeris.org/ where all our members and friends are able to stay updated and informed about the upcoming census.
Please spread this announcement among your relatives and friends, especially f they are preparing to visit Azerbaijan (or become residents or citizens of United States), or if they want to export or import to/from Azerbaijan.
The address of the event is:
