HAYEM.ORG’s INTERVIEW OF THE TRIO
The portal of Armenians of Cypriots has carried out an
online interview with the three hopeful candidates which appears on
their main page since yesterday.
1:- If you win, do you promise to attend the losing
parties/organizations events as a common individual even if you are
not invited?
ZARTARIAN
If I win, I will be too drunk at my own party to go anywhere else !
However thru yr forum I invite the two losers to join me for a drink
on Sunday night and to discuss how the three of us can work together
for next eight months for the benefit of our community.
ATAMIAN
Yes.
ASHDJIAN
This has been a topic which I have always considered important.
Throughout the years, I have made an effort to show up at various
events organized by “other” parties/organizations. Many have
witnessed my presence at Melkonian/AGBU events.
Furthermore, my track record in pan-community affairs, such as the
April 24 joint commemoration events, the Minorities Festival in 1999,
the Constitutional Committee in 2003-2004 and the committee
organizing Frank Pallone’s visit, are indications that I have always
worked in a spirit of co-operation with ALL sides.

FORUM ON FIRE !!
The forum at is blazing. A document regarding the sale
of Melkonian has just been posted and uploaded on this yahoo site:

… while the latest posting reads as follows:
_________________________________________ _______
You ask: What did we do to stop the closure of Melkonian.
Unfair question!
Part of the community did not have a say (not in their wildest
dreams) in the running of the school. Can you imagine the Tashnak
Gomideh going into Melkonian and saying (bagh-bagh): “We came to help
you prevent the sale of the school.”
Possible answer: “Kna yaao kordzit!!”
They would have thought: “They might think that there are commissions
in the deal, whereas we are doing this out of our interest for the
good of the school, the goghm, the nation and the motherland!”
Not even the simple members of AGBU had any say in these affairs.
The school served a few purposes for them. Votes, votes, votes and
votes.
The means to get to these purposes were the scholarships they gave
and the jobs and posts they gave to various people.
OF COURSE THE SCHOOL HAD OTHER PURPOSES AND MOST OF THE TEACHERS AND
EMPLOYEES REALLY CARED ABOUT THE SCHOOL WHICH GAVE TO THE NATION
GENERATIONS OF SCHOLARS

BUT
Everybody knows about the mismanagement of the funds by the few elite
who REALLY ran the show behind the curtains and ignored the warnings
of the Central Committee of AGBU and led the school to the current
state.
They must have warned quite a few times. But these people were so
much drugged with the benefits of the school, they ignored the
warnings.

It reminds me of the overcrowded sinking ship, where no one wanted to
jump off to save the ship from sinking. Eventually, no one jumped off
and the ship sank and everybody on-board drowned.

SHAME ON YOU!!!
And these people are now behind the candidacy of Atamyan.
On 9th October, the community should give a strong punch in the face
of the people who let this thing happen.
