The World Armenian Congress and the Russia’s Armenian Union continue
the program of equipping the Armenian schools with computers. This
time a computer class opened at the Artashat secondary school for the
children of Artashat Russian frontier guards. Valeri Matnik,
commander-in-chief of the regiment,told that the children were very
excited to receive the computers. As a preparation for the opening
ceremony of the computer class, the children posted a desktop
background depicting Armenian and Russian presidents together with Ara
Abrahamian.
Both children and teachers were obviously glad at the opening
ceremony. The deputy president of the Russia’s Armenian Union,
Vladimir Aghayan, noted that their cooperation with the regiment will
continue.
The Union, in the person of its president Ara Abrahamian, also
presented computers to the 13 frontier posts of the regiment 5 of
which are already connected in a local network.
“No CIS country has this practice. We are the first, and the other
posts will also join the network by radio modems after settling
technical issues”, colonel Valeri Matnik said.
The local area network enables not only the posts to communicate but
also connects the regiment with the command.
