number of officials.
In this respect, Haidostian visited the Minister of Education Armen

and a number of academicians and editors, studying future academic
cooperation. He also met with the Diaspora Minister, Hranoush Hagopian,
and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Edward Nalbandian, with both of
whom Haidostian studied the possibility of internship programs at
Haigazian University.

in Yerevan, and spoke at the chapel service of the Theological Academy
of Armenia.
