Criticizing and complaining has never solved anything or has never found any solutions to any problems. When you find a logical solution to a problem then you can criticize all you like. Just like if you do not have a antibiotic / disinfecting medicine you better not touch that wound you have, since by touching a wound and living it open would cous even bigger problems.

CONFERENCE DEVOTED TO 490-TH ANNIVERSARY OF ARMENIAN PRINTING A seminar dedicated to 490-th anniversary of Armenian printing (1512-2002) was organized by the Library Science and Bibliography Chair of the Armenian State Pedagogical University’s Culture Faculty couple of days ago. The head of the university’s science department Hrachia Chplakhian, dean of the Culture Faculty Rouben Mirzakhanian, as well as many lecturers, post-graduates and students participated in the conference. Opening the conference, the dean of the Culture Faculty Mr. Mirzakhanian welcomed the participants, talking about the importance of the initiative, the works of the chair and the prospects of the research in this sphere. A number of repots were delivered at the conference. The head of the Library Science and Bibliography Chair Gagik Sukiasian presented in detail the evolution of the Armenian printing both in homeland and in the Diaspora, stressing its important role both in the history and the culture of the Armenian nation. The role of the Mother See St. Etchmiadzin was also stressed in the sphere of bibliography and the job of buffing up homeland-Diaspora relations. The deputy head of the Yerevan’s Khnko-Aper Republican Children’s Library Mr. Voskanian reported about the current problems of the children’s library. An employee of the Armenian culture ministry Mr. Dayan came up with a report on ‘the electronic depository of the Armenian cultural values outside of Armenia’, which was escorted by an interesting documentary film.

HIGH QUALITY GOLD EXPORTED FROM ARMENIA The road from capital Yerevan to Sodk Gold Mines, located in Vardenis region near the border with Azerbaijan, we passed in four hours. Several sections of this 160-km long road seem practically impassable. The unfolding view is not attractive either with land plots with no trees, occasional semi-destroyed buildings, agricultural equipment. The only sight that catches the traveler’s eye is the Lake Sevan that is equally beautiful in every weather. When we reached destination, we were welcomed, besides chief executives of the Sodk Gold Mines, by also a wind that was chilling to the marrow. Before the mines’ director Artavazd Movsisian had told us the latest update of the news about the mines that resumed operations several months ago, we headed for the so-called “experimental mine,” where huge trucks were transporting earth until the drift miners reach the mines themselves. The drivers of the trucks said they get $160 a month for their heavy work, but none of them seemed to be discontent with that disproportion. The Sodk Gold Mines resumed operation last December. Back to the administration building of the mines we were told and shown all the stages of how gold ore is extracted and then processed. Fifty percent of shares in Armgold company were obtained in 1998 by a Canadian FDM company, which made the first investments by constructing a gold ore processing plant in Ararat. But last year the majority of FDM shares were bought by a London-based Indian company. The Indian company purchased the rest of shares in Armgold. The mines’ director said some 200 jobs were opened in this period of time with an average wage of $150. This number is expected to double and even triple if the so-called closed mines are started to be exploited. The director said the ore is transported to Ararat, some 200 km off Sodk, increasing by 50 percent all expenses. According to him, it would be more expedient to build an ore processing plant in Sodk. In 2003-2004 the company plans to process up to 1 million tons of ore and each ton yields from 4 to 5 grams of most high quality gold. By Ara Martirosian © Copyright AZG

USA ENCOURAGES TURKEY’S ANTI-ARMENIAN POLICY Armenian Armenpress news agency was the first to announce last April 30 that Armenian foreign affairs minister Vartan Oskanian was leaving in mid-May for Iceland’s capital of Reykjavik to attend a two-day gathering of foreign ministers from countries, participating in NATO Partnership for Peace Program. The news agency report said that the meeting was planned for May 15-16 and that the regulation of Nagorno Karabagh conflict was also to be discussed there. Meantime Turkish Anatolia news agency reported, citing an announcement by Azeri president Heydar Aliyev at a Georgia-Turkey-Azerbaijan summit in the Turkish Trabzon that Turkish foreign minister Ismail Cem would also be participating in the discussions over Karabagh. On May 2 a Baku-based 525 Gazet cited an announcement by the Azeri foreign ministry, which said about the planned trilateral meeting between foreign ministers of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Turkey in Reykjavik. Moreover, the announcement said the first meeting between the three men would take place May 14 to provide them with a possibility to discuss Nagorno Karabagh regulation options prior to NATO meeting. Armenian foreign ministry has not so far made any announcement regarding this meeting, but earlier, after an April 4 closed parliament hearings on regional developments, Oskanian and defense minister Serzh Sargisian spoke to journalists and judging by what they had said the Azerbaijani foreign affairs ministry announcement does not seem to be ungrounded. April 4 Oskanian said: “We are trying to step up our dialogue with Turkey as Turkey’s factor is becoming more important in the region. Armenia should keep open all channels for a dialogue with Turkey and try to make a shift in its relations with Turkey.” Serzh Sargisian supplemented foreign minister Oskanian by saying that Turkey was USA’s most reliable ally in the region. “If we fail to establish a dialogue with Turkey that would be very much undesirable for Armenia,” he said. Oskanian was implicating at US efforts to encourage Turkey and Armenia to embark on a dialogue, while the defense minister meant the possible impact of US military penetration in the South Caucasus on the regional developments. In other words, two top Armenian officials articulated the readiness of Armenia to start a dialogue with Turkey. The foreign minister made it contingent on the growing importance of Turkey in the region, the defense minister spoke about Turkey as the most reliable ally of the USA and the consequences for Armenia if it fails to launch a dialogue with its rival. By the way, the readiness of Armenia for dialogue, voiced by Oskanian and Sargisian is rather a sort of signal for the USA but not for Turkey. This means that in return for US demands to start a dialogue with Turkey they demand from the official Washington to place pressure on Turkish authorities so that they improve their positions towards Armenia. However, the USA prefers not to exert pressure on Armenia, but to call on Turkey to establish political, economic and cultural contacts with it. This only encourages the latter. That was why Turkish president Ahmet Sezer said last April 29, during the Trabzon summit that “Turkey is not going to open borders with Armenia and cooperate with it unless it withdraws its forces from the occupied Azeri territories.” This position of Sezer towards Armenia is not a novelty. It was adopted by Turkish leadership still in 1991. Therefore, we do not believe that the trilateral meeting in Reykjavik may cause any concern for Armenia. The discussion of Karabagh regulation by NATO Partnership for Peace Program member-countries will hardly cause concern either. After all, inner contradictions within NATO itself, involving on the one hand USA, Great Britain and Turkey and other member countries on the other hand can be used to maneuver between these two groupings. However, concerns rise when the US co-chairman in the Minks group Rudolph Perina says that “we perceive Nagorno Karabagh as part of Azerbaijan,” and US ambassador to Yerevan John Ordway shares the same opinion. It appears that the question is not Armenia’s willingness to establish a dialogue with Turkey, but about encouraging Ankara’s anti-Armenian policy, which abort the dialogue that has not yet started. It is interesting that the role of the abortionist assumes the USA that demands a dialogue from Armenia. By Hakob Chakrian © Copyright AZG

“what is happening to our Nation and Diaspora” nothing extraordinary, same that’s happening to any other diasporas of any other nations. “At this rate the Armenian nation will cease to exist as a sovereign country and the Diaspora Armenians will disappear through assimilation within 100 years.” I would say even sooner then that, it’s amassing that Armenian in Iran ( witch was also an Armenian Diaspora ) war aybul to keep their identity for 400 years, their coulter, their traditions. Armenian in Lebanon or suria even stronger Armenian Diaspora community then USA Armenians, just do some comparisons. It’s not only Armenian – it’s everyone Us for the women or man in USA, some say that we do have a problem, and some say it’s their own life they can do what they like . Just like on April 24th I have spend 3 hours in Hollywood, and must everyone was ok , but when I was in Montebello, I so some girls wit parsed noses, with open bellies and this new low cut /no belt , even some man ( 10-20 year old ) parsed ears and thongs, some parsed noses. And for some reason most of the orders Armenians war not battered by that, just like it was normal. Have I diverted from the original topic yet? Anyway we do have girls that will make a nasty impression, but we do have many girls that are worth dieing for, and for many of us having a Armenian wife is the only way to go, it’s just matter of time for one to find their soul mate. No offense to our nonArmenian members. Movses

"are these prices in USD? And i ckecked out the site, they are sayiong that the turkish channels cost 40$ how come? " i do not need the turkish channal. the Armenian one is what i need. it's prty cool program. i like it. I have installed the unit yesterday morning. That was a experience I would not forget for some time. I think this will be a Good “toll” for Armenian Government, to get in touch with Armenians in Diaspora. It might even help them in 2003 elections, since this is the Armenians public TV and we have so many Armenia citizens in Diaspora.
