Isabel Bayrakdarian Issues New CD TORONTO (Horizon)—During a special event last Sunday at the Toronto Armenian Center, a new compact disc entitled "Louys Zvart" by musician Isabel Bayrakdarian was unveiled. The new CD was produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Company Records. The CD contains performances by the artist, under the direction of conductor Raffi Armenian, of religious songs and verses as performed during a concert on Sept. 16, organized by the Canadian Prelacy. Bayrakdarian was accompanied on the piano by Bedros Shoujounian. Welcoming remarks at the event were made by Nairi Shahinian, who introduced Canadian Prelate, Catholicosal Locum Tenens Bishop Khajag Hagopian; Pastor of the Toronto Church Right Rev. Shahe Panossian, the artist and CBC Records chief, Rodney Bernard. Bayrakdarian's biography was presented by Lenna Beylerian, while the CD and the music was reviewed by Sarkis Hamboyan. In his remarks, CBC Record's Bernard announced that the new CD will be a part of the record company's list of new classical releases. Right Rev. Hagopian praised the artist for her work and also commended her efforts as an advocate for the Armenian Cause during her public appearances, especially during an interview regarding the release of the CD with CBC Radio. At the conclusion of the event, Bayrakdarian autographed copies of the CD. The CD was released on March 21 at a special premier party hosted by CBC Records at L'atelier Grigorian. "Many thanks to the CBC for believing in the power of this music and for taking the risk to record then previously unknown repertoire. With the CBC's prestigious presence in the recording industry and in the market, this music will have tremendous exposure to tens of thousands, whether it's in Canada or abroad. Many thanks to the sound engineers and producers who spent hours editing and balancing in order to create this CD. With the amount of Armenian music which they heard over the last couple of months, I think they could now be officially called honorary Armenians. All that's missing is the "IAN" at the end of their/your last names. This CD is a labor of love, and I share it with you!" expressed Bayrakdarian.

Easter Tradition: "Bread and wine and Jesus is alive." http://www.armeniaweek.com/march292002/photos/easter_1.jpg By Marianna Grigorian ArmeniaWeek reporter It is the season of rice and raisin dishes, of painted eggs, of red wine in Armenia. And of restraint and the temptations of fasting. It is the season of feathers attached to onions. Easter (celebrated this Sunday) is expressed in spiritual and cultural traditions that reach over centuries to generations that may no longer know the origins, but continue to observe the rituals. "Easter is one of the most favorite festivals that people are waiting for and preparing very thoroughly for in present time just as in ancient Armenia," says Liana Arakelian, a specialist in religion. "People start to prepare clothes, buy gifts, clean, adorn and decorate their houses beforehand." Last Sunday (March 24), walls of homes and heads of young people were decorated with wreaths, to commemorate Palm Sunday. And this Sunday, dinner tables throughout Armenia will be heavy with the traditional meal of Easter. The national Armenian dish, pilaf, will be enhanced by colored eggs, grains, fish, and herbs symbolizing the coming of spring. Bacharg ("Easter cake") a sweet gata or a glazed cake (always round) will be prepared. Fish, Arakelian explains, is served as a reminder of the early Christians' adoption of the fish as a symbol of their religion. The meal has many symbolic applications as it is considered a rite of Spring, but also marks the Apostolic church tradition of fasting for seven weeks. And to mark those seven weeks of self-control and patience, is the ancient tradition of Aklatis. An ancient word literally meaning "to watch" Aklatis, is the ritual of attaching seven feathers to the shoots of an onion. In early days, the Aklatis was hung from the fireplace and was considered the guard of the Easter calendar. At the end of each fast week, one feather is removed, giving the faithful a guage of how much longer the fasting must last. Those who maintained their restraint to not eat meat or dairy products or drink alcohol were believed to be blessed with good fortune and health. Forty days before Easter, believers start collecting eggs. Though in contemporary celebrations the eggs are decorated in many colors, in ancient times they were only red, painted from birch tree bark or from the juice of an onion to symbolize the blood of Christ. Before painting the eggs, those who strictly follow tradition have them blessed by a priest. The egg itself represents the world: The shell is heaven, the inner skin is air, the egg white is water and the yolk, earth. The painted eggs are not served as the meal, but are most often presented as gifts. Grains used in the Easter meal preparation also have symbolic meaning. Cereal is meant to symbolize the awakening of the earth to Spring and also to carry the meaning of the resurrection of Christ, as the grain is laid in the ground (planted) and then is resurrected. In ancient Armenia women baked seven baghargner for Easter. That tradition is partly forgotten these days, however there are people living in the villages who are following tradition of baking baghargner. During the Last Supper Jesus taking the bread said, "This is my body and wine is my blood". When you eat baghar during Easter it means that you accept God in your soul. Besides, those seven baked baghargner of Easter festival symbolized luxury, wealth and also fasting. Sometimes people would put a metal coin in the bagharg and the one whose piece contained the coin was considered lucky. Rice on the Easter table is meant to symbolize all humanity. The raisins included in it represent believers the "chosen." http://www.armeniaweek.com/march292002/photos/easter_2.jpg Red wine symbolizes the blood of Jesus. In ancient time it was necessary for elder people to sanctify the Easter table with wine, announcing to family members: "Bread and wine and Jesus is alive".

When I asked the salesman if I could get a better battery instead of the standard OEM – at first he asked me if I was Jewish or not  , than recommended to get a battery that will hold 40% more charge. My next question was, could I use any other sours of power to charge the battery – he told me that I can use the extra input in the terminal to charge the battery with generator, every time after I’m don camping I can put the solar penal witch is only 3’X3’ inside the camper and forget about it till my next visit. Just charge the battery for 30 minuets and the next day it will charge it’s self using the solar. Now I need to modify my generator - add a muffler to it, it’s way to loud, just in case this solar power would not work, I can still have power sours. Thanks for all of your suggestions.

Thank you all for your responds, I was just not sure if I could use solar power or not, and haw long would it last before i need to recharge. I was not sure if the solar systems where dependable or not I have found a Company who can get me a solar power system for under $400, it will have enough power for 36 hours. Just in case if I need more power I always have my generator to backed up. I’m not building a house, the property that I have is 20 acres, I’m not going to stay at this location, it’s not going to be my house, it’s for camping + Hunting + something up in the forest to I get away from everything. I found a nice 1985 30’ Camper trailer that I can park at most anywhere that I like in the property, and solar power is only for some of the ell. Appliances. TV + Radio + Lights + ETC. I can use generators, but the noise is driving me nuts I do not need a solar power water hitter, I can use propane for hitting and cooking needs. For only few days a year it’s it not worth to spend more then that. Agene thank all you for your help.

Fugitive Ex-Minister Hopes To Regain Lost Parliament Seat http://www.armenialiberty.org/images/photo/Vano.JPG By Anush Dashtents Vano Siradeghian, Armenia’s fugitive former interior minister, is hoping to win back the parliament seat which he lost last November at the behest of the authorities. Siradeghian’s allies have filed for his registration as a candidate in an upcoming by-election in the constituency from which he was elected to the parliament in May 1999. Siradeghian has been on the run from prosecution on murder charges for almost two years. He is thought to have fled Armenia shortly before fellow legislators lifted his immunity from arrest. Nineteen months later they voted to strip the once powerful police chief of his parliamentary mandate, citing his failure to attend sessions of the National Assembly. The move led the Central Election Commission (CEC) to call a pre-term election in the single-mandate constituency located in Siradeghian’s native Noyemberian region bordering Georgia and Azerbaijan. The polls are scheduled for May 19. On March 18, the governing board of Siradeghian’s party, the Armenian Pan-National Movement (HHSh), decided to put forward his candidacy, apparently after getting his formal consent. HHSh sources told RFE/RL that activists of the former ruling party have already submitted all the documents required for his formal registration. Those include interior ministry statements certifying that Siradeghian is a citizen of Armenia who has resided in the country for the last five years. The ministry issued them after repeated delays, sources said. Svetlana Beglarian, a spokeswoman for the provincial election commission which is administering the Noyemberian by-election, told RFE/RL on Monday that Siradeghian is one of four persons who want to join the race. The decisions to approve or reject their applications will be made by April 14, she said. HHSh leaders fear that lack of information about Siradeghian’s whereabouts since April 2000 could be considered by the commission as sufficient grounds for denying him registration. They claim that they do not know where the ex-minister currently lives, saying that he faxed his written agreement to stand in the election from an unknown location. Siradeghian went on trial in September 1999 on charges of ordering a string of contract killings while in power from 1992-96. State prosecutors claim that he set up a death squad in 1992 to eliminate and terrorize opponents of the regime. In July 2000, two members of the alleged gang were sentenced to death, while seven others got jail terms ranging from 4 to 11 years. A month later, eleven former officers of Armenian interior troops were given lengthy sentences after a Yerevan court convicted them of murdering two men in 1995. The prosecutors say the killings were ordered by Siradeghian. The HHSh and Siradeghian have denied the charges as unsubstantiated and politically motivated [ March 25, 2002, 11:42 AM: Message edited by: MosJan ]

TETERIAN’S WORKS RELEASED ON CD When casting a retrospective look in the past of music in the 20-th century we usually centered on a constellation of composers of 18, 19 centuries. Today, already in the 21-st century we can insist that several names from the past century have already become classical. Avet Terterian occupies his special place among these names. We would like to recall his words that he was not composing music but was listening and comprehending the beat of the Universe and putting it down. We would also like to add that Terterian was not only putting down that throbbing but also philosophizing with musical sounds. Terterian was born on July 29, 1929 in Baku, Azerbaijan. His parents were not professional musicians, but both of them had beautiful voices and had some training which allowed his father to perform as an opera singer, and his mother to appear in concert performances. The father, Rouben Terterian, a graduate of medical department of the Saratov University, was known in Baku as a practicing physician - laringologist. Avet's brother Herman was a renowned opera conductor, and Avet's son Rouben is a talented musicologist and the author of the book "Avet Terterian", published in Yerevan in 1989. His symphonies number 3 (for symphonic orchestra and Armenian folk instruments duduk and zurna) and number 5 ( for orchestra and kemancha) occupy a key place in his works. Recently these two great works were released on CD by the performance of Tbilisi symphonic orchestra, led by world famous conductor Jansoug Kakhidze. The prominent conductor has made a brilliant biography, leading orchestras of Bavaria Radio, London, Prague, Moscow and Leningrad symphonic orchestras, as well and Scotland’s and France’s orchestras. Being known as a distinctive interpreter of works of Heidn, Brams, Richard Straus, Maller, Prokofieff, Shostakovich and Stravinski, Kakhidze has more than once performed Terterian’s works.

PALM SUNDAY CELEBRATED BY ARMENIAN CHURCH http://www.azg.am/IMAGE/200205504.jpg On Palm Sunday, March 24, His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, presided over a solemn Divine Liturgy celebrated in the Mother Cathedral of Holy Etchmiadzin. The celebrant was His Eminence Archbishop Datev Sarkissian. The Mother See was filled with faithful bringing willow branches to be blessed and return home. His Holiness has initiated a new tradition for Palm Sunday. In the Armenian Church, it is designated as the day to Bless the Children. Early Palm Sunday morning, His Holiness had invited families to come and receive a special blessing. The response was overwhelming, as hundreds of faithful brought their children to church early in the morning, to kiss the right hand of His Holiness and be given a blessed cross. Children and parents continued to stream into the church during and after the celebration of the Divine Liturgy, each to receive a special blessing on this joyful day. Following Divine Liturgy in the Mother See, His Holiness traveled to Yerevan 's St. Gregory the Illuminator Mother Cathedral. In anticipation of his arrival, children bedecked with flowers and wreaths of young willow branches, drew colorful chalk drawings outside of the Cathedral in honor of His Holiness. Over 10,000 faithful sons and daughters of the Armenian Church streamed into the Cathedral to greet His Holiness and receive a blessing. In the course of a few hours, His Holiness patiently and lovingly blessed thousands of young children. He made great efforts to personally bless everyone, from the youngest of infants to large groups of teenagers. And despite the rain, he made his way to the outside of the church to view the special drawings, much to the delight of the children. During the course of the day, well over 40,000 people came to St. Gregory the Illuminator to pray, light candles, and participate in the day's joyful events.
