YEREVAN, AUGUST 17, ARMENPRESS: Around 31 students and university
graduates have left for the USA by the programs of International
Research and Exchanges Board (IREX) to study at the American
universities. About 15 first and second year students left for USA by
"UGRAD" program and 16 university graduates left by "MASKIE" program.

The places intended for the students and graduates of universities
of the CIS countries are being decreased annually as a result of
reduction of the financing of the USA State Department.

Zhanetta Khachatrian, an official from the IREX, said that annually
they receive about 300 applications mainly from students and graduates
of Brusov State Linguistic University, Russian-Armenian (Slavonic)
University and Yerevan State University. The Armenian students who
leave to study at USA universities mainly prefer the departments of
economy, business management and international relations.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
