    LOS ANGELES, JUNE 26, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. American
    Armenian benefactor Vahe Karapetian presented the RA Police two
    modern machines with necessary equipment which are envisaged just
    for a police work. They will be in Yerevan soon. The agreement was
    reached on it in February, 2006, when Nerses Nazarian, the Chief of
    the Yerevan City Department of the RA Police was in the U.S. at the
    Pasadena Chief Police Officer's invitation.

    As Vahe Karapetian mentioned in the interview to our correspondent,
    there is a safe, washbasin, lavatory, seats envisaged for 20 policemen,
    with a special equipment overhead of each, in the machines made for
    Armenian policemen.

    Only the machine costs 98 thousand dollars, and including equipment
    and clothes, about 300 thousand dollars. Their transportation expense
    is covered by the United Armenian Fund, with Harut Sassounian's
    assistance.

    Different organizations and services of Los Angeles make use of the
    machines called "Soat Team," made by Bahe Karapetian's factory.

    As the benefactor informed, his national donations started still 30
    years ago. "Charitable works were done and are still being continued
    in Artsakh.

    Construction of the Goris-Stepanakert road is my obligation: I make
    investments every year, my employees are there, I myself head those
    works. I visit there few times a year, control perfect restorations
    of the road," V.Karepetian mentioned.

    The "Armenian World Cooperation" public organiztion was founded in
    Armenia with V.Karapetian's assistance. The activity of the NGO will
    be spread all over Diaspora, according to V.Karapetian, "for we are
    able to find the common denominator in important issues."

    As for his interest towards scientific works in Armenia, Vahe
    Karapetian mentioned that he impatiently waits for the day when a
    youth scientific-research group is created to study possibilities
    of a direct usage of sunbeam. "We know to what extent the state of
    economy has become difficult recently, because of rise in gas and oil
    prices. Our energy is in the mind of our youth. We must make investment
    for that discovery," he mentioned. According to V.Karapetian, the ways
    of getting energy from wind or sunbeam existing at present are just
    primitive ways: more effective ways must still be discovered. "Only
    an Armenian young man, a future Armenian scientist may do it. Today
    everybody goes abroad to make a living. They must be kept in the
    Fatherland," he said.

    The "Vahe Karapetian" foundation was founded to implement all the
    above-mentioned programs. Besides financing of the above-mentioned
    programs, it is envisaged to spend resources of the fund was the
    Amaras road construction as well. "I have promised that the road,
    being separated from the North-South road by 8 km, which leads
    towards Amaras where the church founded by Gregory the Illuminator
    is, and at the same time, the school founded by Mesrop Mashtots,
    will be restored as well," the benefactor said.
