    Diaspora Minister Hranoush Hagopian Addresses the Armenian Educators


    Beirut, 30/03/2010- On Saturday, March 27, 2010, Minister of Diaspora of
    the Republic of Armenia, Mrs. Hranoush Hagopian addressed a large group
    of Armenian educators in Lebanon, during a fellowship evening jointly
    organized by Haigazian University and the Embassy of the Republic of
    Armenia in Lebanon.

    University President, Rev. Dr. Paul Haidostian welcomed the audience and
    introduced the Minister.

    Hagopian discussed Armenia's general social issues, and concentrated on
    education, assessing the current situation of the educational sector,
    the arising needs, and the future plans.

    She shared with the audience the Ministry's project in establishing a
    bridge between Armenia and the Diaspora, whereby the two entities would
    mutually benefit from each other's knowledge and expertise. In this
    respect, Hagopian expressed her readiness to assist the diasporan youth
    and students in visiting and studying in Armenia by facilitating their
    stay and tuition fees.

    Hagopian applauded the role the Armenian schools play in the Diaspora in
    preserving the Armenian language, culture and heritage. "The Armenian
    schools and organizations in the Middle East are a shining example of
    that", Hagopian noted.

    Hagopian acknowledged the obligation of morally and financially
    supporting the Armenian educators, and in this respect, and by virtue of
    a presidential decree, she decorated two educators with the "Movses
    Khorenatsi" medal. The recipients were lecturer and linguist Garo
    Arakelian, and long time theatre teacher and director Robert Arakelian.

    Finally certificates of appreciation were presented from the Ministry to
    Mrs. Santoukhd Bertizlian (AKA Shahantoukhd), Mr. Hovig Bertizlian and
    Mrs. Shake Yakoubian.
