    ARMENIAN SCHOOLS SERIOUSLY DAMAGED BY STORMS IN ARGENTINA

    The buildings of the 84-year-old Ardzruni and the 51-year-old
    Baghcheyan Armenian schools in Buenos Aires sustained serious damages
    from the recent powerful storms that hit the Argentinean capital.

    Baghcheyan school's board member Kevork Keshishian told RFE/RL that
    the storm had detached the school's rooftop, and because of the heavy
    rainfall the school's books were completely destroyed and the computer
    hall was damaged.

    "Fortunately, everything happened at night when there was no one in
    the school," Keshishian added.

    And Lucia Hagopian of the Ardzruni Armenian school noted that the
    school's rooftop had flied off for nearly forty meters and damaged
    the neighboring house. Also, a window of the cupola of the Varaka
    Holy Cross Armenian Church was detached.

    As per Hagopian, the damage is estimated at US$ 50,000, but,
    fortunately, the losses here are likewise solely material.
