    11th Temagan Meeting, Sharjah 2005

    Azad-Hye, United Arab Emirates
    Feb 18 2005

    AZAD-HYE (18 February 2005): The overall political situation in the
    Gulf Region was this time favorable for the meeting of the Armenian
    Prelacy Body (Temagan) of Kuwait and Arabian Gulf Countries. During
    the last two years the war in Iraq and the political instability in
    the Region had affected the course of these annual meetings, without
    causing significant delays or troubles.

    The meeting took place in the Sharjah Armenian Community Center from
    16-17 February 2005, with the attendance of about 18 delegates,
    headed by Archbishop Gorun Babian, who welcomed the delegates and
    conveyed to them the blessings of Catholicos Aram I.

    The yearly reports of the three local National Administrations (Kuwait,
    Abu Dhabi and the Northern Emirates of the UAE) were delivered and
    assessed without public audience, in the presence of those who had
    originally appointed the members of these bodies.

    The Prelacy Body moved ahead to appoint functioning members of
    the three National Administrations for a term of two years. Some
    old members were reinstalled in their same positions, others were
    reshuffled in new positions within the usual frame. Series of
    self-appointments also were recorded, with the result that several
    individuals assumed duties in both bodies, thus combining legislative
    and executing powers.

    No press was invited to attend the meeting and no writing whatsoever
    is expected to circulate. A lively photo of the participants was
    fixed on the announcement board of the Sharjah Armenian Church.
