This conference on AGN Surveys has proved to be a significant milestone in our understanding of the redshift distribution of optically selected QSOs, and in our initial understanding of the cosmic distribution of AGN from the first far-infrared and X-ray deep fields. It has also set the stage for continuing debates concerning the multiwave-length properties of AGN, the cosmological distribution of “obscured” AGN, and the “orientation versus evolution” debate on the nature of the sources discovered at different wavelengths. Much of this debate could have been anticipated from previous studies of the complete samples of optically-selected AGN provided to us by the pioneering work carried out by the staff of the Byurakan Astronomical Observatory over the past 40 years.
