MOSCOW, February 17 — Electronic development toys, which are not yet
on sale in Russia, were handed over Thursday for distribution among
the children hurt in the terrorist attack on the North Ossetian town
of Beslan.

Several hundred sets of toys were presented by the Japanese company
Space Toon together with the Soglasiye /Accord/ joint stock company
from Russia.

Soglasiye president Ara Abramyan said such development toys are in
tremendous demand the world over.

The givers made sure that each child receives a toy which corresponds
to his or her age.

For example, the children aged between five and ten will receive toys
which help learn the English language.

According to a representative of the Japanese company which
manufactures a wide array of products for children – from videos and
books to toys and souvenirs, boys and girls up to 15 years of age
will receive different variants of games.

The gifts were handed over to deputy representative of North Ossetia
in Moscow Stanislav Bedikhov.

Ara Abramyan who heads the Union of Armenians of Russia emphasized
that “it is important we do not forget the Beslan tragedy over time,
and support the children who lived though this horrible grief.” He
urged all business people in Russia and abroad to take part in
similar actions.
