YEREVAN, OCTOBER 16, NOYAN TAPAN. The "Nig-Aparan" Patriotic Benevolent
Non-Governmental Organization has managed to become a solid and
efficient structure within the five years of its existence. According
to the information provided by Tigran Petrosiants, a member of the
Council of the "Nig-Aparan" Patriotic Benevolent Non-Governmental
Organization, at the third conference of the organization held on
October 13, "Nig-Aparan" has always been prominent with its actions of
national significance, in particular, such as the round dance organized
in 2004 around the mountain Aragats and the tree planting of 2006.

In the words of Tigran Petrosiants, the number of the members of
the "Nig-Aparan" Patriotic Benevolent Non-Governmental Organization
currently surpasses 93 thousand. There are figures from the spheres
of art, culture, science, literature, and sports, as well as famous
political figures among them.

In the words of Tigran Petrosiants, due to the efforts of the
leadership of "Nig-Aparan", the square of the city of Aparan has been
named after Tigran Petrosian, a famous Armenian chess player, and the
statue of the latter has been set up there. And in 2006 T. Petrosian
scholarships were determined in the Yerevan Physics-Mathematics School,
the Yerevan State and the Yerevan State Medical Universities due to
the sponsorship of the organization. It was mentioned that 100 socially
