    LESSON OF PATRIOTISM

    NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY
    SEPTEMBER 2, 2009
    ABOVIAN

    Day of Knowledge at school No 6 in the city of Abovian was marked by
    a festive event on the occasion of naming 8a class after the great
    Armenian philanthropist Alex Manoogian. The decision to name 8a class
    after the Honorary President of the Armenian General Benevolent Union
    (AGBU) was taken by the council of pupils.

    The pupils showed a play about the victory of good over evil. The
    scene of the play accompanied by songs and dancing and presenting the
    image of the Armenian benefactor Alex Manoogian was set in Western
    Armenia. More than 20 pupils of the class named after A. Manoogian
    vowed to remain true to Alex Manoogian's cause and traditions. They
    were congratulated by the pupils of 6b class after Garegin Nzhdeh.

    The event was attended by the RA Minister of Diaspora Ms. Hranush
    Hakobian who quoted Movses Khorenatsi's words that the ignorance
    established wickedness. She said: "The main character of our lesson
    today is Alex Manoogian, who was a prominent representative of the
    Armenian people and an embodiment of kindness". Speaking about Alex
    Manoogian's activities to the benefit of the Armenian nation, she
    reminded that the great philanthropist funded the creation of numerous
    schools, cultural centers, and churches in Armenian colonies worldwide.

    Ms. Hakobian stated with satisfaction that the Ministry of Diaspora
    has launched a series of events called "Great Armenians", with over
    70 events being dedicated to Alex Manoogian. The initiative received
    an enthusiastic response from many Armenian schools.

    The minister said that the activities of Alex Manoogian should become
    a guideline, "based on which and with the help of our kbowledge and
    kindness, we should build our Homeland, bring the Homeland and the
    Diaspora together, while Armenia should provide the greatest support
    for the Armenians scattered around the world".

    On the occasion of Day of Knowledge and in connection with the naming
    of 8a class after Alex Manoogian, the headmistress of school No 6
    Greta Kroyan and London-based teacher Lily Adamian made speeches. The
    latter said that Alex Manoogian was well-liked in the Diaspora as well
    because he helped all schools, regardless of what party or union had
    founded them.
