    FIRST LADY, DR. BELLA KOCHARIAN VISITS THE ARS MOTHER AND CHILD HEALTH
    AND BIRTHING CENTER


    On Wednesday, October 18, Armenia's First Lady, Dr. Bella Kocharian
    visited the ARS Mother and Child Health and Birthing Center in
    Akhurian. This was Dr. Kocharian's first visit to the ARS center's
    new maternity ward and recently completed Radiology & Scanning
    Department.

    Dr. Kocharian was accompanied by ARS Armenia Chairperson Alvard
    Petrosian, who is also a member of the Republic of Armenia's National
    Assembly, as well as ARS Armenia Regional Executive Board members.

    On the occasion of Dr. Kocharian's important visit, the ARS invited
    representatives of various women's and social service organizations to
    be present, including Minister of Health Norair Davtian; Armenia's top
    cancer expert Dr. Sergey Sayirian; ARF Supreme Council members Lilit
    Galstian and Rouzan Arakelian; ARF Commission on Women's Issues
    Chairperson Maria Titizian; Shirak Province Governor Romik Manukian; and
    ARS Central Executive Board member Karine Hovhannisian.

    The visit was fully covered and broadcast on television and radio. All
    the guests were deeply impressed and expressed their admiration for the
    Health Center's new additions. As a token of appreciation, First Lady
    Kocharian presented the center with a television set.

    The Mother and Child Health Center tour was followed by a visit to the
    Psychological Center in Gyumri which recently inaugurated a new wing
    built and subsidized by the Swiss "Armenianos" Fund. Center director and
    noted psychologist Armine Gmuir-Karapetian cooperates closely with the
    ARS Armenia Regional Executive Board. Over the last few years,
    Gmuir-Karapetian has provided expertise to the ARS Armenia on various
    in-depth ARS studies devoted to psychological issues faced by various
    segments of the population.

    Dr. Kocharian was visibly impressed by what she saw at both centers and
    expressed her deep satisfaction for having the opportunity to witness
    the ARS's important work in Gyumri. In a parting promise, the First Lady
    pledged to support all present and future ARS programs.

    Established in 1910, the ARS is the oldest Armenian women's
    organization with entities in 24 countries. To learn more about the ARS
    and its programs, visit the ARS's website at www.ars1910.org or call
