Armenian Community Of California Expesses Willingness To Take Active

ARMENIAN COMMUNITY OF CALIFORNIA EXPESSES WILLINGNESS TO TAKE ACTIVE
PART IN 25 NOVEMBER TELETHON

LOS ANGELES, November 24 (Noyan Tapan). During the November 19 meeting
with NKR President Arkady Ghoukassian the Armenian Community of
California supported its compatriots from the Eastern states of the US
in their aspiration for strengthening aid to Nagorno Karabakh. It, as
well as the Armenians of Boston, New York, Detroit and other US cities
expressed its willingness to take an active part in the November 25
telethon on fundraising for the completion of the construction of the
“North-South” highway, which is of great importance to the NKR.

According to the Head Information Department attached to the NKR
President, during the meeting with a group of Armenian businessmen
and philanthropists of Armenian origin participants (couples Levon
and Zara Ghoukassians, Ralf and Savi Toufenkians, Hakob and Maria
Shirvanians were among them) reported about their intention to
contribute to the development of Artsakh. They, in particular,
emphasized that the current activities of the Armenian Community of
the US are connected with the growth of its confidence in the NKR
President and support to the democratic and economic reforms carried
out by him in Nagorno Karabakh.

This thought stood out in all the meetings of Arkady Ghoukassian in
America, in particular, during the reception given in honor of the NKR
President by the Knight’s Council of the Armenian General Benevolent
Union (AGBU) and its Californian Department. Vahe Imastunian, the
Head of this Department, coming up during the reception noticed the
importance of the NKR President’s visit to the US from the point
of view of the strengthening of the relations between the American
Community and Artsakh. Arkady Ghoukassian thanked the participants
for their genuine wish to help Artsakh and expressed the opinion
that there are all the necessary prerequisites for the completion of
the financing of the construction of the “North-South” highway this
year, as well as for the implementation of other important projects
concerning the all-round development of Artsakh. He emphasized that
the active participation of the Diaspora in the forthcoming telethon
will demonstrate clearly that the Armenians of the whole world aren’t
indifferent about the fate of Artsakh, which, in its turn, will have
political significance.

The Hovhannesians, whose guest was Arkady Ghoukassian, also wanted
to contribute to the completion of the “North-South” highway.

Issues concerning the socio-economic development of Artsakh, as well
as the process of the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict were touched upon in Arkady Ghoukassian’s interview to the
local Armenian TV reporters. “Artsakh won in the war imposed on it,
because there were Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora standing behind
its back. I am sure that we will achieve the same results in economic
confrontation if we join our efforts,” the President, in particular,
said.

Touching upon the prospects of the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict, Arkady Ghoukassian emphasized that the subordination
of Nagorno Karabakh to Azerbaijan is out of the question. “Our
purpose is to gain the juridical recognition of Nagorno Karabakh,”
the President announced. He estimated negatively the actions of the
authorities of Baku trying to gain the discussion of the issue of
so-called occupied territories in the UN and characterize them as
provocative. According to him, such steps of official Baku complicate
the too difficult process of the peaceful settlement still more. The
NKR President noticed that the issues of territories and refugees
arose as a result of the military aggression of Azerbaijan against
Nagorno Karabakh, that’s why they are rather the consequence of the
armed conflict than it’s reason. According to Arkady Ghoukassian,
“The main issue that should be resolved is the issue of the status
of Nagorno Karabakh.” He also noticed that the neglect of the issue
of the status of Nagorno Karabakh by Azerbaijan makes the discussion
of other problems concerning the overcoming of the consequences of
the armed conflict nonsensical.

Arkady Ghoukassian was present at the Sunday service at the St. Karapet
Church in Hollywood on November 22. The service was held by Archbishop
Pargev Martirosian, Head of the Artsakh Diocese of the Armenian
Apostolic Church, who is in the US today.

Armenia This Week – 11/22/04

ARMENIA THIS WEEK

Monday, November 22, 2004

In this issue:

Congress passes key aid, trade legislation

Thanksgiving fundraising to benefit Karabakh

Armenia modifies communications regulation

U.S. CONGRESS PASSES KEY ARMENIA ASSISTANCE, TRADE LEGISLATION

Both branches of the U.S. Congress voted last Saturday to uphold equal
amounts of U.S. military aid to Armenia and Azerbaijan. Last Friday, the
Senate also adopted legislation making normal trade relations with
Armenia permanent.

Voting on Saturday, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives
approved “not less than $75 million” in economic and $8.75 million in
military assistance to Armenia, as well as $3 million in humanitarian
aid to Nagorno Karabakh. The $8.75 million are due to be spent through
the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) and the International Military
Education and Training (IMET) programs, with equal assistance
appropriated to Azerbaijan. In addition to FMF and IMET aid, Azerbaijan
receives funds for Caspian Sea security programs.

The United States had maintained parity in security assistance to
Azerbaijan and Armenia, since the early 1990s, when the U.S. Congress
sanctioned Azerbaijan over its conduct of the war against Nagorno
Karabakh and Armenia (known as Section 907 of the FREEDOM Support Act).
The U.S. first began providing military aid to the two countries after a
2001 congressional vote, which satisfied the Administration request to
waive Section 907 to allow for a greater U.S. role in cracking down on
Islamic radicals within Azerbaijan and for counter-proliferation efforts
in the Caspian. The waiver mandates that none of the U.S. military aid
could be used against Armenia.

The Senate’s passage of the Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR)
resolution on Armenia would no longer require an annual review and
presidential waiver of the Cold War-era provision known as the
Jackson-Vanick amendment that conditioned U.S.-Soviet trade on human
rights issues. Armenia joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in
February 2003. And the U.S. State Department officials have backed the
removal of the amendment in relation to Armenia, as it fully complies
with religious freedom and emigration rules. The U.S. House of
Representatives had voted to drop the provision in November 2003 and
again last October. Adoption of PNTR now opens the way for additional
U.S.-Armenia trade agreements.

U.S.-Armenia trade turnover stood at about $140 million both in 2002 and
2003, a significant increase over earlier years. The U.S. Census Bureau
reported over $107 million in overall trade for three quarters of 2004.
Despite geographic distance, the U.S. is an increasingly attractive
market for Armenia’s producers. Armenian companies exported $33 million
worth of goods to the U.S. between January and September of this year,
an increase from $23 million over the first three quarters of 2004.
Armenia’s overall exports to the U.S. last year stood at $38 million.

NKR PRESIDENT IN U.S. TO RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR KARABAKH HIGHWAY

Nagorno Karabakh’s President Arkady Ghoukasian is visiting the United
States to participate in the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund’s drive to raise
financial support for the completion of the 105-mile highway that will
connect the northern and southern parts of NKR. The highway, half of
which has already been built, is of major economic significance for
Karabakh. Ghoukasian’s delegation visited with Armenian communities in
America’s North-East and Mid-West and is currently in California. In
addition to the U.S., the Hayastan’s drive includes Armenian communities
in Europe, South America and the Middle East, as well as Armenia proper,
and hopes to raise over $12 million this year.

The Hayastan Fund, which has raised over $90 million since the time it
was set up in the mid-1990s, focuses on road construction in eastern
Armenia and post-earthquake reconstruction in the northern Shirak and
Lori provinces. (Sources: Arminfo 11-19, 22; Noyan Tapan 11-19; Los

GOVERNMENT MODIFIES AGREEMENT WITH COMMUNICATIONS MONOPOLY

Following months of negotiations and pledges to scrap the monopoly on
communications, the Armenian government settled for an out-of-court
compromise deal modifying its original 1997 agreement with the Hellenic
Telecommunications Organization (OTE), the Greek owner of Armentel.

In accordance with the new agreement, details of which were announced by
Justice Minister David Harutiunian in recent weeks, Armentel will allow
one competitor in cellular communications, while maintaining monopoly
rights over the rest of the network, including internet telephone
communications, until 2008 instead of 2012, as was originally agreed.
The government has already granted a second mobile phone license to
Karabakh-Telecom, a Lebanese-owned company which has been working in
Nagorno Karabakh since 2000.

Information technology associations and opposition parties have
criticized the deal as contrary to Armenia’s economic interests. But
Harutiunian argued that the government preferred an out of court
settlement to an expensive court battle. (Sources: Armenia This Week

Non-involvement of Upper Garabagh in talks impeding conflict
settlement – Armenian leader

The process of talks on settling the Upper Garabagh conflict is
impeded by two factors, with the main one being the non-involvement
of Upper Garabagh, Armenian President Robert Kocharian told a press
conference on Monday.
Kocharian said that the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia are
currently trying to find a mutually-acceptable resolution of the
problem but said `he is not really optimistic of the situation with
the Upper Garabagh conflict settlement’.
`Azerbaijan insists on holding talks with Armenia, which, in fact,
represents Upper Garabagh’s interests in the negotiations. However,
this is not a fully proper format as it does not reflect the essence
of the conflict’, Kocharian said.
Kocharian indicated as another hurdle Azerbaijan’s rejecting active
regional cooperation.
`Armenia believes that through cooperation a settlement can be
achieved, while Azerbaijan’s priority is to resolve the conflict,
after which such collaboration can be discussed.’*

Calcutta: Trauma care makes debut

Trauma care makes debut
A STAFF REPORTER

Calcutta Telegraph, India
Nov 15 2004

In Calcutta, nearly 450 people die in road accidents every year,
and a few hundred more lose their limbs or become paralysed after
suffering a massive heart attack from trauma-related injuries.

“The first few minutes are very critical and that is the period
when a person has the best chance of survival, even in a near-fatal
accident. But sadly, we don’t have enough personnel or expertise
to handle trauma cases better,” said Sourav Koley, critical care
specialist in Calcutta.

All that is likely to change when the city’s first-ever trauma care
hospital opens on Monday. The Rs 27-crore hospital, a joint venture
of the Armenian Church of India and the Asia Heart Foundation, is the
first such project in eastern India, which started a year ago after
the state government greenlighted it.

Between 1998 and 2004, at least 38 people died on the city streets,
and the trend shows no sign of decelerating. Doctors believe it is
mainly owing to the lack of timely attention and proper medical care.

For some time, critical care specialists in the city were trying to
teach cardiac resuscitation to the police force. It is an important
technique for reviving trauma-affected people.

However, with little to show for all that, the government decided a
few years ago to start its own trauma care hospital at SSKM Hospital
and another such unit was planned at Medical College and Hospital.
The foundation stone for such a hospital was laid at SSKM Hospital,
but the project never got underway due to lack of funds.

Finally, early last year, the Armenian Church members and Devi Shetty,
chairman of the Asia Heart Foundation that runs the Rabindranath
Tagore International Institute for Cardiac Sciences, at Mukundapur,
off the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass, placed the proposal before the
government, which soon okayed it.

The 300-bed hospital will have a 30-member medical team throughout
the day, on duty 24 hours, for the benefit of patients who could be
rushed in for trauma care any moment. Apart from state-of-the-art
neuro-surgery speciality, the hospital has all top-of-the-line medical
equipment to tackle urgent cases of orthopaedics, neurology, nephrology
and urology.

Housed on the same campus as the Mukundapur hospital, the trauma care
centre will have cardiac specialists from the mother hospital to take
care of the cardiology part of the treatment, explained vice-chairman
Aloke Roy, himself an expert in nuclear medicine.

“The treatment will not be expensive. A dilation facility will be
available for Rs 700 and CT scan for Rs 800 only. If a patient is poor,
we won’t charge him anything at all,” Roy added.

Conyers, Theriault to Discuss Genocide Convention

DEARBORN, MI – The United Nations Genocide Convention and the right
to reparations will be the subject of an Armenian National Committee
(ANC) of Michigan public meeting on November 21 at the Armenian
Community Center in Dearborn.

Congressman John Conyers (D-MI) and Dr. Henry Theriault of Worcester
State College will discuss the significance of pursuing a just
settlement for the crimes of genocide and slavery, forms of legal
recourse for securing reparations, and the ethical and moral issues
raised by slavery and genocide.

Theriault is an expert on genocide and human right issues. He is an
advocate for reparations as a crucial piece of any resolution of the
Genocide and other cases such as African-American slavery. Among his
many articles, Theriault has published two important pieces on denial
of the Genocide and other genocides entitled, “Universal Social Theory
and the Denial of Genocide: Norman Itzkowitz Revisited,” published
in the June 2001 Journal of Genocide Research and “Free Speech and
Genocide Denial: The Armenian Case.” Theriault has also lectured
around the world on denial, reparation, and other related issues.

In addition to being a Worcester State College associate professor of
philosophy, Theriault has served as coordinator of the College’s Center
for the Study of Human Rights since 1999. The center is dedicated to
developing programs, events, and curricula concerning human rights
including genocide.

Congressman Conyers is the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary
Committee and is now serving his 20th term as the Representative
to Michigan’s 17th Congressional District. Conyers is considered
the “dean” of the Congressional Black Caucus and is also a member
of the Armenian-American Issues Caucus. A staunch supporter of
Armenian-American issues in Congress, Conyers has worked hard on
various Congressional initiatives to recognize the Genocide and has
repeatedly called on various presidential administrations to properly
characterize the Genocide as a such. Conyers has also attended the
annual April ANCA Genocide Observance on Capital Hill and has made
special order speeches in Congress on the Genocide. In addition to his
support for Genocide recognition, Conyers has also been a long-time
supporter of US aid to Armenia and Karabagh.

Other human rights causes led by Conyers include support for Haiti’s
emerging democracy, pursuing reparations for the injustices from the
institution of slavery in the United States, demanding the lifting
of inhumane sanctions on the people of Iraq, and championing House
Resolution 193, which commemorates US ratification of the United
Nations Convention on Genocide. Conyers is a lead sponsor of House
Resolution 40, which if enacted would form a commission to study
reparations for African-Americans.

The November 21 event will begin at 7:00 pm at the Armenian Community
Center, 19310 Ford Road, Dearborn, MI and is free and open to the
public. Refreshments will be served. For more information, call
(313) 336-6840 or email [email protected].

La música alimenta el espíritu
El pulso de la Costa da Morte

Los alumnos de los colegios de Agualada y Coristanco asisten a los
conciertos del Trío Rusia que programó la Concejalía de Cultura en el
auditorio municipal

TASENDE
?a música es uno de los mejores alimentos para el espíritu, sobre
todo para los niños. En Coristanco lo saben y lo llevan a la
práctica. Así que ayer hubo un concierto para alumnos de secundaria
en la Casa da Cultura. Las interpretaciones corrieron a cargo de Hayk
Manukyán , Érik Vardanyán y Ludmila Orlova , que forman el Trío
Rusia. Hoy repiten actuación en el mismo lugar. Es una oportunidad
para que los chavales de los colegios de Agualada y Coristanco tomen
contacto con temas de Vivaldi y Mozart, entre otros. Uno de los
intérpretes del trío, Érik, sólo tiene 12 años. Nació en Armenia,
pero vive en A Coruña desde los dos. A los siete ya empezó a tocar el
violín. Todo un ejemplo para los chavales que asisten a los
conciertos.

?ue el valle de Traba (Laxe) produce buenas hortalizas no es ningún
secreto. Los ajos y las cebollas de estas tierras atlánticas tienen
fama y son muy cotizadas en la feria de Baio. Pero también da buenas
calabazas, como la que exhiben con orgullo en Mórdomo Carmen Mouzo
Moreira y Mercedes Rodríguez Mouzo . Se trata de un ejemplar de 63
kilos de peso y 71 centímetros de alto. Creció en su huerta y los
habrá tan grandes y pesados, pero el que lo tenga tendrá que
demostrarlo.

?l fútbol de la Tercera División Nacional tiene un importante
protagonismo en el programa La voz del deporte, que presenta en
RadioVoz Jorge Campos. Sobre todo, en la tertulia que participan los
entrenadores Manuel Varela Bardanca, Juan José Vila y el alcalde de
Cerceda, José García Liñares, un confeso seguidor del fútbol que se
juega en esta categoría. En este espacio se analizan los resultados
más significativos de la última jornada y se le presta especial
atención a los equipos de Bergantiños, Cerceda y A Laracha, los tres
conjuntos que defienden nuestras comarcas en la competición liguera.
También se cuentan los secretos de los fichajes y se observan con
lupa las decisiones arbitrales.

?os vecinos de la parroquia cabanesa de Riobó parecen estar muy
sensibilizados con la puesta en valor del patrimonio de su localidad.
Un nutrido grupo de vecinos, entre los que se encontraban abuelos y
nietos, acudieron el pasado domingo a la charla que impartió Ángel
Eiroa Pose, uno de los técnicos municipales. En la conferencia, que
tuvo lugar en el local social de A Mata, Eiroa ilustró sus
explicaciones con el apoyo de una serie de imágenes que suscitaron el
interés de los asistentes al acto. Los responsables del Departamento
de Cultura del Concello destacaron que el público se mostró muy
participativo en la experiencia, por lo que no dudan en calificarla
como un auténtico éxito. La actividad se enmarca dentro de las
acciones promovidas por el Ayuntamiento encaminadas a que todos los
cabaneses tengan acceso a información sobre la riqueza cultural y
etnográfica del municipio, así como fomentar un mayor conocimiento
del patrimonio histórico.

El próximo domingo se celebrará un acto similar en la parroquia de O
Esto. Los vecinos podrán acudir a una nueva sesión, en la que se
mostrará un vídeo sobre Cabana, un recital de poesías de María Baña y
habrá una interpretación de las leyendas de la parroquia. La
actividad comenzará a las seis de la tarde.

?llá se fueron el alcalde de Fisterra, José Manuel Traba Fernández ,
y el teniente de alcalde de Corcubión Ramón Pais Redonda , invitados
por Turgalicia. Forman parte de un grupo de diez representantes de
otros tantos ayuntamientos gallegos con el fin de que conozcan planes
de calidad para la actividad turística. Es de esperar que los ediles
tomen buena nota, porque calidad es lo que hace falta en la zona,
según se puso de manifiesto bien claro y de forma reiterada en las
Aulas da Costa da Morte celebradas recientemente en Carballo, Baio y Laxe.
