    PAREKORDZAKAN RELEASE DETAILS OF MELKONIAN CLOSURE
    Gibrahayer. 3 November 2004: During the week The Melkonian Cyprus Alumni
    is organising a fund-raiser to fight the closure of Melkonian, the AGBU
    - through its representative in Cyprus Gordon Anderson - announced the
    details of the closure of the school in June 2005.
    In a two page circular released this week the following was
    announced:
    1.- AGBU has signed an agreement with the American Academy in Nicosia to
    accept all students currently enrolled in Melkonian beginning in the
    Fall of 2005.
    2.- During the 2005-06 and 2006-2007 school years AGBU will provide
    boarding facilities on the MEI campus for the students currently living
    in the MEI dormitories who enroll in the American Academy free of charge
    and who do not have parents residing in Nicosia. Bussing from the MEI to
    the AA will also be provided.
    3.- Beginning in the Fall of 2006 AGBU will be offering an afternoon
    Saturday program that will include Armenian language classes, as well as
    history and culture. These classes will be open to all Armenian students

    TURKISH CONFERENCE ON MINORITY RIGHTS' REPORT ENDS IN CHAOS
    WWW.AFX.COM November 1, 2004 Monday 11:04 AM Eastern Time ANKARA. A
    debate over a report criticising breaches of minority rights in aspiring
    European Union member Turkey collapsed when members of a
    government-sponsored human rights group, which authored the document,
    clashed in public.
    The incident is the latest in a series of rows within the Human
    Rights Advisory Board -- a body attached to the office of Prime Minister
    Recep Tayyip Erdogan -- which highlighted widespread hostility in Turkey
    to advanced cultural freedoms for the country's Kurdish and non-Muslim
    communities.
    Nationalist members of the board, which is comprised of
    government officials, academics and civic groups, sabotaged a news
    conference called to formally release the report, which makes some
    controversial recommendations to the government and excerpts of which
    were last week leaked to the media.
    Shortly after the head of the board, Ibrahim Kaboglu, began
    speaking a nationalist unionist grabbed the papers from his hands and
    tore them to pieces, yelling: "This report is a fabrication and should
    be torn apart."
    Kaboglu was forced to leave the hall, stating: "We cannot even
    hold a news conference. This is the state of freedom of thought in
    Turkey."
    The EU, which Turkey is seeking to join, has long pressed Ankara
    to grant equal cultural freedoms to its sizable Kurdish minority as well
    as smaller, non-Muslim communities such as Greeks, Armenians and Jews.

    KEVORKIAN LOSES SUPREME COURT APPEAL
    Monday November 1, 2004 3:31 PM WASHINGTON (AP) - Assisted suicide
    advocate Jack Kevorkian lost a Supreme Court appeal on Monday in his bid
    to win freedom after five years in prison.
    Justices, without comment, turned back an appeal in which
    Kevorkian claimed he had an ineffective attorney when he was convicted
    of second-degree murder in the 1998 poisoning of Thomas Youk. Youk had
    Lou Gehrig's disease, and Kevorkian called it a mercy killing. The death
    was videotaped and shown on national television.
    The Supreme Court had also turned back an appeal from Kevorkian
    two years ago that claimed his prosecution was unconstitutional.
    Kevorkian has said he assisted in at least 130 deaths, but has
    promised in affidavits that he will not aid in more suicides if he is
    released. He could be eligible for parole in 2007.
