USAN goes global -- the launch of UK Azeris Network (UKAN) at the House of Commons
Dear USAN/USTN members and friends,
It is with great pleasure that we announce the USAN model going global and
the launch of the UK Azeris Network (UKAN), in London, 20 October 2009, in
the British Parliament -- the House of Commons, at 7pm. If you would like to
RSVP for the event, please email the co-founder and Managing Director of the
UKAN, Dr. Gulchohra Aliyeva at

.
The UKAN event will be attended by British Members of Parliament (MP),
scholars, representatives of the business sector as well as governmental and
non-governmental organisations, and would be one of the largest such events
ever dedicated to Azerbaijan and Azerbaijanis to be held in the British
Parliament.
UKAN's role and mission would be to facilitate grassroots activism and
advocacy by the British residents of Azerbaijani, and larger, Turkic,
descent, to help them integrate into the British society and be politically
active in British politics. It's structure and model would be similar to
that of USAN and USTN in the United States, although it would be in full
conformity with all UK laws and regulations, and have UK-based managing
directors.

semi-formal and informal groups, on federal, state and local levels. USAN is
the first nationwide rassroots organization uniting Azerbaijani-Americans,
being created by the grassroots, for the grassroots.
