Krikorian, Bentley, Sambar win board race Newcomer Krikorian will join incumbents on Glendale Unified's Board of Education. By ALECIA FOSTER GLENDALE -- With all 52 precincts reporting, a newcomer and two incumbents were elected to the Glendale Unified School District Board of Education Tuesday night. Small businessman Greg Krikorian, joined by incumbents Jeanne Bentley and Chuck Sambar, emerged victorious from a pool of 10 candidates. "It would appear we have a mandate from the people to continue doing what we're doing," Sambar said. The 10 candidates were vying for three seats held by Sambar, Bentley and Louise Foote. Foote, a teacher in the Los Angeles Unified School District, was turned out of office, taking fifth in the race. She had served one term. Sambar will return for a second four-year term on the board, while Bentley will return for a third term. Bentley, who came in first with 8,149 votes, watched the results with family and friends. Bentley said she wasn't quite sure what to expect earlier in the day, but that all changed as results began rolling in. "I really want to serve again," she said. "I love being on the board." Newcomers Kathleen Burke-Kelly, a college administrator and Catherine Yesayan, a Realtor both had a strong showing. Krikorian, a small business owner who had received the support of three of Glendale's largest Armenian groups, celebrated his victory at the Verdugo Hills Country Club. He did not return phone calls Tuesday evening.

Powell Joins Nagorno-Artsax Talks Diplomacy: Florida meeting is an attempt to jump-start stalled peace process for Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders. By NORMAN KEMPSTER, Times Staff Writer KEY WEST, Fla.--In the Bush administration's first venture into direct mediation of an international dispute, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell conferred Tuesday with the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan about the stalemated conflict in Nagorno-Artsax. "These Key West talks highlight U.S. engagement in the international effort to bring peace" to the troubled region, Powell told reporters. In keeping with President Bush's determination that Washington should not impose a settlement on unwilling parties, Powell said the United States was "prepared to support any agreement acceptable to the two presidents." That drew a sharp rejoinder from Azerbaijani President Heydar A. Aliyev, who called for far more direct intervention. He said it is not enough for the international community to say that "whatever the presidents agree upon will be acceptable." Aliyev complained about "indecisiveness on the part of the international community" in the face of seven years of deadlocked negotiations after a war that killed 15,000 people and left a million homeless. Later, Powell said he was not surprised by Aliyev's remarks, adding that the mediators do intend to be more active than they have been over the last several years. But he did not reveal specifics. The talks in former President Harry S. Truman's vacation White House were the 16th round of face-to-face discussions between Aliyev and Armenian President Robert Kocharyan. Powell headed to Washington Tuesday evening but said he could return if his presence was needed. Judging by their public statements before the talks retreated behind closed doors, Kocharyan and Aliyev have a long way to go before they make peace. Aliyev spoke for almost half an hour, recalling all of Azerbaijan's grievances in a conflict that began in 1988 when both countries were still Soviet republics. In a tart, but brief, response, Kocharyan said: "I have not made these many miles of trip to Florida to try these propaganda campaigns. I have come here to work constructively to seek a settlement." Nagorno-Artsax, a predominately Armenian enclave in Azerbaijan, declared independence in 1988, touching off a long and bitter war. A 1994 truce left the region under control of ethnic Armenians supported by the Armenian government. The separatists also hold a ring of Azerbaijani territory surrounding Nagorno-Artsax and a corridor connecting the enclave with Armenia proper. Kocharyan is the former prime minister of Nagorno-Artsax. He was elected president of Armenia in 1998, pledging to keep the enclave in Armenian hands. Since the 1994 truce, the conflict has claimed a few hundred lives a year as a result of sniper fire and land mines. Powell stressed the economic dimension of the conflict, urging Armenia and Azerbaijan to put aside their differences and "allow these two countries to progress more quickly into the promise of the 21st century world economy." After kicking off the conference, Powell turned the U.S. delegation over to Carey Cavanaugh, a diplomat who has been working on the issue for years. In an unusual procedure adopted by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the chairmanship of the mediation group rotates between the United States, Russia and France. In Stepanakert, the largest city in Nagorno-Artsax, the leader of the small, self-proclaimed state said he hoped the talks would lead to a settlement allowing the enclave to be unified with Armenia or be recognized as independent. "All other options mean that we move not toward peace but toward war," said Nagorno-Artsax President Arkady Gukasyan. Gukasyan, interviewed by The Times on Tuesday night at his residence in Stepanakert, said there were several factors conducive to a peaceful settlement now. He said he sensed that the Azerbaijani side "more than ever is inclined to take a realistic view of everything." While expressing confidence in Kocharyan, Gukasyan said the republic is not a direct party to the talks and therefore might reject whatever the participants decide. * * * Times staff writer John Daniszewski in Stepanakert contributed to this report.

State of Arkansas Issues Proclamation Recognizing The Armenian Genocide LITTLE ROCK, AR--Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee issued a Proclamation this week recognizing April 24, 2001 as a Day of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide. The Arkansas proclamation, issued on March 27, 2001, recognizes the death of at least 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Turks and the forced deportation of countless others. The Proclamation further recognizes that the Armenian people have not received reparations for their losses and that the present Turkish government engages in a campaign of denial of the Armenian Genocide. "We are proud to be citizens of this great state as it honors the victims of the first Genocide of this century," stated Leo Stepanian of the Armenian National Committee of Arkansas. "I only wish that my relatives, many of whom perished during the atrocities of the Armenian Genocide, were alive today. On behalf of the Stepanian, Derantz, Haroutunian, Namsaian, *****lian, and Molkhsotzs families and the Armenian-American community of Arkansas, I thank Governor Huckabee for properly commemorating the Armenian Genocide and denouncing the continued campaign of denial by the present Turkish government."

Turkey Tries Killing Genocide Resolution at UN YEREVAN (Armenpress)--An Armenian Genocide resolution will most probably be discussed at the UN Commission on Human Rights. Among the 53 members to the Commission are representatives of those countries which have already passed Armenian Genocide resolutions. According to Turkish sources, Armenia is actively pursuing the resolution and is preparing to submit documentation at the Commission's session next week in Geneva. There is a good chance the resolution will be passed since most members of the Commission are supportive of Armenians.

Key West Talks Launched WASHINGTON (Reuters)--At the invitation of US Secretary of State Colin Powell, President Kocharian has arrived in the United States for another round of talks in a bid to find a peaceful solution to the protracted Armenian-Azeri dispute. Talks with President Kocharian are to begin today in Key West, Florida, under the auspices of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), who formed the Minsk Group, chaired by the United States, France and Russia, to try to bring peace to Artsax. Azeri President Heydar Aliyev made optimistic comments about the Artsax conflict on Sunday, April 1, but saw a long road to peace as he left for the United States. "I have heard the opinion of the co-chairmen of the Minsk Group of the OSCE that the sides in the conflict are closer than ever to peace. I think there is a basis for these optimistic statements," Aliyev told reporters. Aliyev added that any solution would have to be implemented over several stages, and dismissed suggestions that he and Kocharian would sign any treaties at the Florida talks. "Most of all Azerbaijan and Armenia must agree on the principles," he said "and there are many questions to be answered in order to achieve peace," Aliyev added. "If we get peace, then we can sign an agreement which will also be signed by the big world powers, the co-chairmen of the OSCE, the European Union and the United Nations." Exploiting what one US official called a rare window of opportunity, US Secretary of State Colin Powell has turned to the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan to show off his mediating skills. Powell hopes to show the United States at work with Russia and France as co-chair of talks, when he flies into Florida today. If Kocharian and Aliyev make progress at the talks, which are expected to run up to six days, it would be advantageous to Powell's reputation. "With the format that is taking place in Key West, we are highlighting the intent to advance a resolution of this problem and increase cooperation between the United States, Russia and France to achieve that goal," the US official said. The United States sees grounds for optimism that it can bring an end to the first major ethnic dispute to erupt in the waning days of the Soviet Union, bringing stability to a region where Russia, Turkey and Iran also have interests. It is also a region from which Washington would like to export Azeri oil. Russia has close ties with Armenia and has been accused by Azerbaijan of giving military aid to its rival. Iran would prefer not to see a US foothold established in the region, where about 200 people are killed each year despite the truce, mainly due to snipers and land mines. Baku has said it is ready to accord autonomy to Artsax, but insists it must remain part of Azerbaijan. Armenia would like full independence for the region. Diplomats and experts do not expect a deal to be signed at Key West, but some see the talks as ripe for progress, making them attractive to the US administration. Some experts fear tensions in US-Russian relations may complicate the talks, with Washington and Moscow ordering reciprocal expulsions of 50 diplomats accused of spying. Ambassador Carey Cavanaugh, who has also led US efforts to resolve conflicts in Georgia and Moldova, will lead the talks for the United States once Powell leaves. He also led the effort on Artsax for the Clinton administration. Fiona Hill of the Brookings Institution compared Artsax to the West Bank. She warned against excessive optimism, recalling former Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott, had only just left Armenia when gunmen wrecked peace hopes in 1999 by shooting the prime minister dead along with seven other people.
