[03/11 18:05] Katy Pearce moderator: He has had extensive international experiences, as you have learned from your homework assignments. He is going to answer students' questions about the the impact of the Rose Revolution in Georgia and its effect on the Caucasus, as well as questions about his work at the State Department, his professional experiences and the overall impact of exchange programs. Fortunate for all of us, he is willing to speak to Future Leaders Exchange students from the Caucasus... [03/11 18:05] Katy Pearce moderator: Again, welcome all students and adults, on behalf the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs we appreciate your enthusiasm for this event. Thanks for joining us. Students, you may begin asking questions... [03/11 18:05] Katy Pearce moderator: To begin, Mr. Logsdon, many of the students are curious as to your duties and responsibilities as Deputy Director in the State Department's Office of Caucasus and Central Asian Affairs in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, as well as how you came to hold this position. [03/11 18:05] Kent Logsdon: Hi! It is great to be part of this conversation tonight! Our office at the State Department manages the U.S. bilateral relationships with all eight countries of the Caucasus and Central Asia.. [03/11 18:07] Kent Logsdon: I have experience in the region, having lived for three years in Almaty during the mid-1990's and was pleased to be asked to come back to the State Department to take this job. [03/11 18:07] Shahin Qadimov, Azerbaijan: Have you ever been to the Caucasus region for any work related or other issues? [03/11 18:07] Kent Logsdon: Shahin: I have been to all of the countries of Central Asia, but only to Baku in the Caucasus. I hope to find my way to Armenia and Georgia in the next few months. [03/11 18:08] david motsonelidze, Georgia: HI. my name is david from republic of Georgia, staying in texas. How would you estimate "velvet revolution" in Georgia and how could it affect the future of Georgia? [03/11 17:01] Kent Logsdon: David: I wanted to answer your question because we've been very excited about the changes going on right now in Georgia.. [03/11 18:09] Kent Logsdon: For the past few months we have worked closely with the new Georgian Government as it begins to grapple with many challenges. and of course most exciting for us, is that so many people in the new government are alumni of U.S. government exchange programs. [03/11 18:10] Gohar Dolyan, Armenia: Do you think that religion and culture differences disturb the relationship between countries? How can we deal with these differences? [03/11 18:09] Kent Logsdon: Gohar: this is an issue that we deal with in the U.S. every day as well. we like to think of diversity as a source of strength for the u.s.... [03/11 18:11] Kent Logsdon: however, in international relations, every modern democracy must make compromises and figure out how to deal with differences in their neighborhood and the world. that's what we try to do each day. but we also look at how much we have in common. [03/11 18:12] david motsonelidze, Georgia: HI. as i know you speak 3 languages. How did speaking languages help you in your professional life, and what would you advice us as future leaders , to study as many languages as we can so that it will help us became better leaders? [03/11 18:10] Kent Logsdon: David: I studied German in school, but learned Russian and Thai in order to work and live in Kazakhstan and Thailand. I think that the ability to speak a language gives you great insight into a culture and lets you reach many more people. [03/11 18:14] Astghik Melkonyan, Armenia: Dear Mr Logsdon, In your opinion what significant results will Rose Revolution have on Armenia's and Azerbaijan's governments and do you think it can cause some other problems between those two governments and their presidents? I'm asking it because in both countries the last elections were very critical and many citizens went on demonstrations and were asking for "cleaner" elections. [03/11 18:12] Kent Logsdon: In our relations with all of the countries of the region, we work closely with the governments and civil society to encourage peaceful political and economic reform... [03/11 18:16] Kent Logsdon: We don't think that the Georgian elections should cause problems for neighbors, but instead the January 4 presidential election was a significant step toward democratic elections -- and that's an important example for the region. [03/11 18:17] Anna Mrelashvili: Hello, this is Anna from Georgia...Why do you think the presence of alumnies is so important in new government? [03/11 18:15] Kent Logsdon: Anna: It means that alumni just like you have gone back home and worked to apply things that they learned during their year as exchange students... [03/11 18:18] Kent Logsdon: It is not important that every exchange participant become president. I was also impressed by Secretary Powell's meeting with alumni in Tbilisi who were building schools, and working on environmental projects and making their own neighborhoods better. [03/11 18:19] Mahbuba Azizova, Azerbaijan: How did your work for Senator John Heinz help you in your job today? What did you learn? [03/11 18:16] Kent Logsdon: Mahbuba: My work in Congress taught me an imporant lesson -- all politics is actually local politics. People care most about their own neighborhoods and local issues... [03/11 18:20] Kent Logsdon: it also taught me about how our system works -- from the inside -- and Congress is a complicated place that shows just how diverse America (and Americans) really are! [03/11 18:20] Kakhaber Bulia, Georgia: What do you think are the first steps, Georgian Government Should do to become more democratic country? [03/11 18:19] Kent Logsdon: Kakhuber: The Georgian Government is already taking steps toward democracy -- first through the January 4 presidential election and now by taking on the huge job of trying to reform the government... [03/11 18:22] Kent Logsdon: One of the things that our assistance programs are trying to do is to help the government better organize itself to work for the people of Georgia. [03/11 18:22] Katy Pearce moderator: Mr. Logsdon, many of the students are asking about your own youth: what were your interests and goals as a teenager? [03/11 18:21] Kent Logsdon: Katy: I grew up outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in a small town. When I was 16 I was an exchange student in Germany and knew from that time on that I wanted to live and work overseas... [03/11 18:23] Kent Logsdon: As a teenager, I was very active in my school -- in clubs, activities, sports -- but was eager to get into the international sphere of things! My family was a host family for students at the University of Pittsburgh so we also had interesting people to dinner when I was growing up! [03/11 18:24] Tural Isgandarov, Azerbaijan: hi Mr.Logsdon . What is the best way to share the democratic concepts that we have learned in US when we go back to our country and do some community services for our country? [03/11 18:03] Kent Logsdon: Tural: I think that the best thing you can do is to get involved in your neighborhood, your local community and do what needs to be done. That could be as simple as picking up trash. Or getting involved in a local school to help out. [03/11 18:27] Tea Bebia, Georgia: do you think that the new georgian president will have strong ties with USA? He was educated in the USA, do you think this will give him a better opportunity to bring democracy to Georgia? [03/11 18:28] Kent Logsdon: Tea: I know that Pres Saakashvili will have strong ties to the U.S. -- during his recent visit here he talked a lot about how much his time in the U.S. meant. He also has close ties to Ukraine where he studied for several years... [03/11 18:29] Kent Logsdon: Certainly he will face many challenges in bringing democracy to Georgia, but he is committed to continuing the process of change -- and that is something that the U.S. and the international community want to help him do. [03/11 18:30] Mamed Bayramov, Azerbaijan: Mr. Logsdon, I know the definition of the word "Democracy". But how would you explain it to a person who never have heard about it? [03/11 18:29] Kent Logsdon: Mamed: another good question -- and one that I think most Americans would have trouble answering.. They'd say that they just know it -- because we've all been raised in an open society... [03/11 18:31] Giorgi Teimurazishvili, Georgia: Mr. Logdson, How is your 7 years old daughter doing? [03/11 18:30] Kent Logsdon: Giorgi: my 7-year old daughter is great - she is at home taking a piano lesson. she's a big soccer fan though-- and eager for good weather so that her team will start practicing again! [03/11 18:34] Konstantin Ter-Nakalyan, Armenia: Hello Mr. Logson, my name is Konstantin and I'm an Armenian exchange student in the USA(New Mexico). I have been here for over than 7 months and I have seen lots of ather exchange students from different countries. However, I have never seen a single American exchange student in my country, Armenia, so I've got two questions: 1) How come there aren't any American exchange students in our countries(Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbajan)? 2)Does the US governmnet plan to do something about this? Thank you. [03/11 18:33] Kent Logsdon: Konstantin: Hopefully your time in New Mexico will help convince Americans that they want to travel to the Caucasus and see new places.. [03/11 18:35] Kent Logsdon: Unfortunately many Americans don't speak other languages and don't always want to travel abroad. But that's changing -- and your presence here is helping! [03/11 18:36] ketevan khukhunashvili, Georgia: if you had a choice, where would you go as an exchange student? [03/11 18:34] Kent Logsdon: Ketevan: Well, I did have a choice in high school and I went to Germany. But at that time, my small high school only taught French, German and Spanish -- so my options were limited... [03/11 18:36] Kent Logsdon: today I would probably pick something more exotic -- but at the time, I was very interested in going somewhere where I could speak the language and learn more about the culture. [03/11 18:37] Mahbuba Azizova, Azerbaijan: Have you ever had an exchange-student? Would you like your douther to be an exchange-student? [03/11 18:37] Kent Logsdon: Mahbuba: When I was growing up, my family hosted a German exchange student for six weeks -- and I spent six weeks in his family the following summer. It would be great if my daughter wanted to spend a year as an exchange student, but she'll live overseas again anyway because of my job as a diplomat! [03/11 18:38] Karen Danelian, Georgia: Mr. Logsdon, there is an opinion that Georgia got new President, but not new regime. What do you think about that? [03/11 18:30] Kent Logsdon: karen: that's a good question too. certainly it takes more than one person to change a whole system overnight. and there is always resistance to change. so this will take time. [03/11 18:40] Tural Isgandarov, Azerbaijan: After the 9/11 American's seem to have created a dislike towards all Muslims but i learnned form homework that US goverment funds an exchange program which brings high school age students from Muslim contries to build bridges between US and the countries where Islam is practiced What is the purpose of this program? [03/11 18:40] Kent Logsdon: Tural: yes we do have those kinds of program with Islamic countries -- modeled on the very successful FLEX program! [03/11 18:42] Kent Logsdon: Rishad: I look back to my time working for Senator Heinz -- to be involved in government get involved first in your local communities. [03/11 18:43] Anna Mrelashvili: What are some of your major functions for your job? [03/11 18:43] Kent Logsdon: Anna: We spend a lot of our time trying to make sure that Secretary Powell knows what is happening in the countries of Central Asia and the Caucasus. We are in close touch with our embassies abroad -- and also with embassies here in Washington. [03/11 18:44] Javid Mamedov, Azerbaijan: hi my name is javid.i am from azerbaijan. i am staying in vermont. woh do you think media effects the public in azerbaijan and armenia? thanks [03/11 18:20] Kent Logsdon: Javid: The media plays a big role in any open society -- by reporting news and keeping people up to date. But it can also get the public worked up about issues. That happens in the U.S. and I know it happens in your countries as well. It is something that we have to be conscious of. [03/11 18:47] Lilit Ter-Azaryan, Armenia: HI my name is LIlit Ter-Azaryan,I am from Armenia.How Armenia and Azerbaijan can come to agreement ???And what do other froeign aithorities think about it? [03/11 18:46] Kent Logsdon: Lilit: I think that everyone shares the hope that Armenia and Azerbaijan can come to agreement on the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh. We support this effort through the Minsk Process -- as one of the co-chairs... [03/11 18:49] Kent Logsdon: But this is not a question to be decided from outside of the region. One of the hallmarks of modern democracies is the ability to compromise. Both sides win if compromises and agreements are found. And that's the case in this situation as well. [03/11 18:50] Javid Mamedov, Azerbaijan: how different is it to work under two different presidents? how does the policy change in about that part of the world thanks javid [03/11 18:48] Kent Logsdon: Javid: in the U.S., as a diplomat, we work for the President -- no matter who he/she is and no matter what party. Our job is to carry out the President's policies -- and also to advise (through the Secretary of State) as to what we think he or she should do with regard to our region... [03/11 18:51] Kent Logsdon: However, whatever policy the President picks -- that is the policy we support. That's the job of a diplomat. [03/11 18:51] Tea Bebia, Georgia: Do you think that Democracy can come to a poor country when the people worry more about were their next meal is coming from rather than who is running the country? [03/11 18:48] Kent Logsdon: Tea: Yes, but certainly economic reform and economic prosperity has to go hand in hand with democratic reforms. India is a very poor country -- but has a long history of democracy. [03/11 18:53] Kakhaber Bulia, Georgia: Does your daughter want to follow steps of you, and your wife (foreign relations)? [03/11 18:51] Kent Logsdon: Kakhaber: My daughter wants to be a vet and take care of sick animals in the woods. I think most 7-year old girls in America want do to this! [03/11 18:54] Theona Khabeishvili, Georgia: do you think volanteering will help Goergian Democratic sistem going? [03/11 18:47] Kent Logsdon: Theona: I think that participation -- whether in politics, by volunteering, by keeping up with issues -- is important to keep any democratic system going. You can't have democracy without people participating. [03/11 18:55] Lilet Grigaryan, Armenia: Dear Mr. Logsdon I can see that you love your job. I want to be a diplomat too can you give me any advise from your knowlegeful experience? [03/11 18:55] Kent Logsdon: Lilet: I do enjoy my job -- and the best thing to do is to study at the university and keep focusing on getting to be a diplomat. I thought about other jobs for quite a while, but am glad that I came back to being a diplomat. [03/11 18:57] ketevan khukhunashvili, Georgia: in your opinion, what steps(if any) will US government take to solve the conflict between Georgia and Russia? [03/11 18:48] Kent Logsdon: ketevan: i'm not sure which conflict you mean, but we've been pleased that the new georgian government is interested in good relations with russia and all of its neighbors... something that we strongly support. [03/11 18:59] Arif Kazimov, Azerbaijan: have you ever met with MS Condoleeza Rice ? [03/11 18:59] Kent Logsdon: Arif: No, but I've heard her speak to the Ambassadors from Europe. She is very smart, speaks very well and has a keen interest in the Caucasus. [03/11 19:00] Mamed Bayramov, Azerbaijan: What do you think are the main characters of a good President? [03/11 18:58] Kent Logsdon: Mamed: I'm sure that you've seen the West Wing here in the U.S. -- President Bartlett is a great model in my view :) [03/11 19:01] Konstantin Ter-Nakalyan, Armenia: Mr. Logson, I'd like to thank you and all other US officials and common citizens, who work so hard to give us, exchnage students this wonderful opportunity to learn about other cultures and other people. THANK YOU!!! [03/11 19:02] Astghik Melkonyan, Armenia: Mr. Logston I'd like to know what is the most interesting thing about Caucasian nations/government that you learned during these years? [03/11 18:46] Kent Logsdon: Astghik: Since all of my personal experience is in Central Asia, I have been struck by how unique each country in the Caucasus is -- with rich histories and cultures. [03/11 19:02] Fazil Mammadov, Azerbaijan: As an American diplomat you represent USA. And what does America thinks, What is the main problem in Azerbaijan right now? I want to see vision of USA for our issues. Plz answer. [03/11 19:01] Kent Logsdon: Fazil: We have a good relationship with Azerbaijan -- American businesses are active there and we've had good cooperation on security and counter terrorism... [03/11 19:05] Kent Logsdon: but we'd also like to work with the government and civil society to promote political and economic reform. And I think that all of those processes are going on as well... [03/11 19:06] Kent Logsdon: For the U.S., we believe it is important for our relationships with our nations to be as broad as possible -- you can't just work with a country in one area. [03/11 19:06] Katy Pearce moderator: Students, please be patient. There are many of you with many questions. [03/11 19:07] Theona Khabeishvili, Georgia: do you travel abroasd with your family or i wonder how you deal with "timt limit" for your family because of work? [03/11 19:02] Kent Logsdon: Theona: You are right - there is never enough time! But my wife, who is also a diplomat, and I make sure that we have time for our daughter. And we try to spend as much of our time at home as we can with her. [03/11 19:08] Rishad Aliyev, Azerbaijan: What do think, why many americans have never heard about Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia? Maybe madia does not pay enough attention to the Region? [03/11 19:01] Kent Logsdon: Rishad: Many Americans simply do not know enough about the world -- and programs like FLEX do succeed in getting people to learn more about our world. I'm sure that everyone in your high school now knows a lot more about the Caucasus than they did last year! [03/11 19:09] ketevan khukhunashvili, Georgia: Mr.Logsdon, as far as i have learnt from my government classes here - participation on the part of the people, is the most important aspect of democracy. in Georgia, nearly everybody is talking about politics everyday, everybody expresses his/her opinion, participation in the elections is also high... what are other things that Georgia should adopot, to become a truely democratic country? [03/11 19:08] Kent Logsdon: ketevan: i think that people have to have confidence in the system -- so that they know their voices are being heard and their views are being considered (even if not adopted). that's very important. [03/11 19:11] Shahin Qadimov, Azerbaijan: in the magazine "USA Today" I saw a map of the world where all countries were divided into 3 groups: 1-Free 2-Half free 3-Not free. I was very disappointed to see whole Caucasus region in the 3rd group. Do you really think that we are still "not free"? I believe, 12 years after being free from the Soviet rule we gained a lot on the way to independence. [03/11 19:08] Kent Logsdon: Shahin: Unfortunately, it is very hard to put countries into easy categories like free and not free. Those of us who work in this region know how much all of the countries in the former Soviet Union have achieved in just 12 years... [03/11 19:13] Kent Logsdon: but we are all evolving democracies and it is sometimes too easy to simply put countries into categories without any explanation as to why. [03/11 19:14] Fazil Mammadov, Azerbaijan: USA wants to bring NATO system to Azerbaijan and put U.S army campus in Azerbaijan. But Russia disagree with that. So what we should do for to not broke any relation with both countries? [03/11 19:13] Kent Logsdon: Fazil: Azerbaijan is a member of NATO's Partnership for Peace -- and has expressed interest itself in closer cooperation with the Alliance. Secretary Powell has been pretty clear in stating that the U.S. is not looking for new permanent bases anywhere in the region... [03/11 19:16] Kent Logsdon: and this is certainly an issue that he discusses with the leaders of all of the Caucasus countries as well as Russia. [03/11 19:16] Sakina Aliyeva, Azerbaijan: Sakina Aliyeva, Azerbaijan What would be your advice for us - the future leaders of our countries? [03/11 19:15] Kent Logsdon: Sakina: Take advantage of every opportunity to learn something new -- and enjoy the experiences along the way! You don't have to be in too much of a hurry to be the next leader! [03/11 19:17] Mamed Bayramov, Azerbaijan: There are a lot of immigrants from Eurasian countries in the United States. Why do you think people wants to come to the USA? [03/11 19:12] Kent Logsdon: Mamed: I think for many people around the world, the U.S. is still a land of opportunity, where people can pursue their own dreams and lives. And many others come here for economic reasons -- to find jobs. [03/11 19:18] Katy Pearce moderator: Students, please be patient. There are many of you asking many questions. Priority goes to students who have not had a question answered yet and to questions which represent the questions of many students. Thank you. [03/11 19:19] Arif Kazimov, Azerbaijan: Arif Kazimov. Do you think that our new president Ilham Aliyev, will have such a good relationship with U.S.? [03/11 19:11] Kent Logsdon: Arif: We have good relations with the government of Azerbaijan and the people of Azerbaijan as well. I'm sure that will continue in the coming years. [03/11 19:20] Mamed Bayramov, Azerbaijan: Mr. Logsdon, as an exchange student, what did you take with as a souvenier from the United States? [03/11 19:02] Kent Logsdon: Mamed: The best souvenirs from the U.S. that i took abroad were photos of my friends and families -- to show people what my "real" life was all about. I suspect that most Americans would be just as fascinated by seeing pictures of your families back home. [03/11 19:23] Katy Pearce moderator: Students, we are nearing the end of our chat with Mr. Logsdon. We will finish up with a few quick questions and then give Mr. Logsdon a moment to speak to you. [03/11 19:23] ketevan khukhunashvili, Georgia: Russia was a Soviet Union country as well (the central one, to be exact), do you think Russia has achieved more in developing a democratic state, than any other republic in caucasus? [03/11 19:21] Kent Logsdon: ketevan: each country is developing along at its own pace and in ways that work best for each of them. i don't think that we can or should judge one country by what its neighbor isdoing. [03/11 19:24] Giorgi Dvali, Georgia: Mr. Logsdon why is the U.S so active in helping Former Soviet Union Countries? [03/11 19:24] Kent Logsdon: Giorgi: I think that at the end of the Cold War, the U.S. felt it had an opportunity -- and almost a duty -- to reach out to the people of the countries of the former Soviet Union who had been "out of touch" for so long... [03/11 19:25] Kent Logsdon: And I think we've done well in connecting with each other in just 12 short years. Mutual understanding and cooperation has grown by leaps and bounds. [03/11 19:27] Katy Pearce moderator: Based on the responses, I think that everyone appreciates this. Thank you Mr. Logsdon. The students, placement organizations, ECA alumni, host families, host educators, and all others greatly appreciate this time that you have given us. Thank you Mr. Logsdon and students. We appreciate your time... [03/11 19:27] Katy Pearce moderator: We have run out of time. We hope that you enjoyed this online event and that you have learned something new about the relationship between the United States and the countries of the Caucasus and the impact that exchange programs such as FLEX have on communities as well as the future relationship between these countries. A transcript of this online event will be on this website soon...
