    Oct 24, 2008

    QUEBEC, OCTOBER 24, ARMENIANS TODAY - NOYAN TAPAN. On October 16
    a Canadian Armenian delegation headed by Bishop Bagrat Galstanian,
    Primate of the Armenian Church of Canada, met with Armenia's Minister
    of Foreign Affairs Eduard Nalbandian in Quebec City. Minister
    Nalbandian was attending the Francophonie Conference representing the
    Republic of Armenia, as a candidate for membership in the association.

    The delegation included Pierre Akkelian, Vice-Chairman of the Congress
    of Canadian Armenians, Rev. Fr. Vazken Boyadjian, Pastor of St. Gregory
    the Illuminator Cathedral, and Levon Afeyan, Parish Council Chairman
    of St. Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral and Vice-Chairman & Treasurer
    of the Congress of Canadian Armenians. Also present was Arman Akopian,
    Chargé d'Affaires of the Armenian Embassy in Ottawa.

    The discussions were cordial and productive, and covered a range of
    subjects from Armenia-Diaspora relations to agreed upon actions for
    the promotion of Armenian interests.

    Minister Nalbandian stressed the importance of developing increased
    diplomatic, trade and cultural relations between Canada and
    Armenia. The Armenian Embassy in Ottawa and the Congress of Canadian
    Armenians both stated that they will give priority attention to
    persuading the Canadian Government to establish an embassy in Yerevan.

    A couple of months ago, at the invitation of Diaspora Minister
    Hranoush Hakopyan, the Congress of Canadian Armenians submitted a
    paper to her outlining several recommendations.

    On the subject of the Rural Poverty Eradication Project for the
    reconstruction of Armenia's border villages, Minister Nalbandian said
    that this was currently under review and that he expected it would
    be revised to establish a more practical and efficient approach for
    the implementation of this vital project.
