    EVENTS DEDICATED TO WOODROW WILSON'S MEMORY HELD IN ARMENIA

    Noyan Tapan News Agency, Armenia
    Nov 16 2006

    YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 16, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The November
    16 event organized at the Armenian Union of Writers was dedicated
    to the 150th anniversary of 28th U.S. President, Nobel prize-winner,
    Armenia's great friend Woodrow Wilson. In the words of Levon Ananian,
    Chairman of the Armenian Union of Writers, the Armenian people has
    always highly estimated W.Wilson's activity for the sake of Armenian
    people and numbers him among such friends of Armenia as Anatole Franz,
    Fridtjof Nansen, Johann Lepsius, Franz Werfel and other great people.

    In 1920 W.Wilson made decision On Delimitation Between Turkey
    and Armenia, Armenia's Outlet to the Sea and Demilitarization of
    Turkish Territories Adjacent to Armenian Borders having a historic
    significance. According to the decision, Wilson completed and
    ratified Articles 88-89 of the Treaty of Sevres giving them an
    international-legal final form.

    In the words of Rafael Hambartsumian, Chairman of Board of the Azgayin
    Miasnutian Ukht Party, the Treaty of Sevres signed on 1920 August 10
    is considered a document that has preserved its international legal
    significance up to present. But, according to the Party Chairman,
    it is more than 80 years the Treaty of Sevres is presented wrongly in
    the History of Armenian People textbooks. Six out of 480 points of the
    treaty concern Armenia, but none of this points has been fulfilled,
    while ten states achieved independence by this treaty. "The main reason
    of Armenians' failure was the policy carried on by the Bolshevik
    Russia, as it had contacts with Turkey and would not permit Armenia
    to have an integral territory," R.Hambartsumian said. In his words,
    the treaty also envisaged to create a large Armenian community in
    Turkey, which, however, was not realized. In R.Hambartsumian's words,
    a number of measures and mechanisms should be worked out today for
    using the treaty.

    For perpetuating the name of Armenian people's friend W.Wilson
    the Azagayin Miasnutian Ukht Party members proposed naming streets,
    schools after him in Yerevan and in the regions, erecting a monument to
    Wilson in Yerevan, releasing stamps dedicated to his 150th anniversary,
    as well as holding Wislon Days in Armenia and Diaspora.
