Interview with Lara Setrakian on Armenia's Meronq TV Program

We are pleased to announce that the Armenian TV program "Meronq" on the Armenia's H1 Channel will broadcast a segment about Lara Setrakian. As many of you know, Lara has been an AGBU member from a very young age – she attended Camp Nubar for many years, participated in the New York Summer Intern Program and was a founding member of our YP group in Dubai.
Lara Setrakian is a correspondent for ABC News and Bloomberg Television, based in Dubai. She has covered the Middle East extensively, contributing stories from across the Arab world and Iran. Most recently, she reported from Cairo on the Egyptian revolution and tweeted regular updates from the scene in Tahrir Square. She covered Lebanon's violent unrest in May 2008 and reported from Saudi Arabia during the oil price crisis that summer. She filed an exclusive report on a $3 billion collection of modern masterpieces in the basement of Tehran's Museum of Contemporary Art, and was the only network reporter with the US Navy's counter-piracy task force when it caught its first band of suspected pirates in the Gulf of Aden. While on that assignment, Setrakian was the first American to interview the new president of war-torn Somalia, Sheikh Sherif Sheikh Ahmed.



Lara began her broadcasting career at WHRB-FM Radio in Boston, where she served as anchor and news director. Prior to joining ABC News, she worked as a business analyst with McKinsey & Company, focusing on finance and corporate strategy. She graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University with a degree in government and a certificate in Spanish.
