The first broadcast will highlight President Emeritus of Fresno
State, Dr. Harold H. Haak, remarking on his recent trip to Armenian
Universities. The interview is an
exchange of both educational issues and conditions in Armenia.
Der Mugrdechian has also recendy
visited Armenia, and this allows
him a unique perspective to open
up the interview with more introspective questions about contemporary issues.
Being part of the Armenian
Studies Program in Fresno is beneficial also. In the second show,

George Radanovich, Der

my surprise, they have educated
me by giving me insight on who I

Oskanian Says Lachin To
Remain Under Armenian Control
YEREVAN (Noyan Tapan)-
In an interview to "Azg" daily
Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Vardan Oskanian stated that
Armenia considers the Lachin corridor to be the main guarantee of
security for Nagomo Karabakh.
"Our stand is that Lachin will
not be returned and will remain
under Armenia's control," he was
gave him insight to the questions of
Armenian Nationalism and local
concerns of American Armenians.
The third show taped so far
shows student involvement in the
Armenian community. Der
Mugrdechian brings back two
Fresno State alumni to talk about
the creation and continuation of
this publication, Hye Sharzhoom.
Now in its seventeenth yearof publication, the three share the circumstances of this student newspaper
and its growth within the community.
What is next for future shows?
"I prepare an interview according
to who lam talking with," illustrates Der Mugrdechian, "and open
it up from there. I think this will be
the best way to have the freedom to
talk about what matters to Armenians and the community." hye
talk hopes to be at the center of
opportunity to bring in influential
visitors, and to reach out to the
central valley and beyond.
today's youth. It is evident when I
look into their glowing eyes and
realize that they have a spark which
lies within their souls, a spark to
learn more about their motherland,
their history, and themselves. And
I, myself, begin to glow when I see
that the next generation of Armenians have that ignited spark within
them, for it will seen become their
responsibility and honor to keep
the Armenian culture alive in the
United States.
quoted as stating.
Azeri officials continued to
demand that the historically Armenian Lachin region be awarded to
Azerbaijan, saying that only after
such an action would they begin
negotiating the status issue.
Oskanian said mediators proposed several options for Lachin's
status, ranging from the absurd to
the logical.
According to a majority of
those proposals, Lachin should remain under Armenian control and
would also be demilitarized. No
peace-keeping forces would be deployed therein and only observers
would be dispatched to the conflict
zone.
Oskanian also expressed his
opinion that countries previously
displaying readiness to dispatch
peace-keeping forces to the conflict zone, may lose interest in the
peace process altogether,seeing no
tangible progress on the settlement
of the Karabakh conflict.
The Armenian Deputy Foreign
Minister stressed that the fact that
"these countries also have other
interests (besides the settlement of
the conflict) raises anxiety. They
are trying to use this as a pretext to
speed up the peace process and
attain success [for their own interests]."
Power Supply Schedule For
The Population
YEREVAN ("Hayastani
Hanrapetutyun" daily)
The press service of of the
Republic of Armenia Ministry of
Energy reported that a new schedule of power supply to the population has been established on 15
November, according to which
power will be suppliedfor two hours
in the morning, and three hours in
the evening.
