YEREVAN, OCTOBER 25, NOYAN TAPAN. With the assistance of the
Armenian Association of the United Nations, a group of students
of the International Relations Department of the Russian-Armenian
(Slavonic) State University held on October 24 a modelled variant
of the UN Security Council sitting where every participant
"represnted" a UN member state. The main theme of the "sitting"
was the Palestinian-Israeli crisis on the occasion of which the
participants adopted a special resolution after a discussion lasted
for some hours. In words of Valeri Tkachuk, the representative
of the UN Public Information Department, "UN modelling is a too
interesting play," which has been held already for some years
not only among young students but also among ready specialists,
politicians and diplomates. In his words, the event held in the
Slavonic University is the 3rd among the 7 modellings envisaged in
Armenia and "it’s gratifying that, by happy coincidence, this event
was held just on the day of the UN foundation, October 24." In words
of Armine Halajian, the board responsible for information, the event
has mainly an educational goal as every participant, being involved
in discussions and undertaking role of any country’s representative,
study deeply that country’s history, geography, foreign policy, etc.
