    YEREVAN, APRIL 27, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian Virtual University
    designed by the Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) has had
    over 500 students in about a year since its foundation. Founder and
    Chairman of the university Yervand Zoryan told Armenpress that it is
    a great success for a novice university.

    According to him, the majority of the students are from countries
    with the largest number of Armenian communities - the USA, France
    and Russia; there are students from Argentina, Canada, Brasilia and
    Spain as well.

    Armenians of nearly 35 countries of the world participate in the
    classes of Armenian Language, History and Culture. There are also
    foreign students, who have working or family ties with Armenians
    and want to get acquainted with Armenian culture and history. "In
    this case the presence of the internet is very useful. It unites the
    world-spread Armenians of the world," Y. Zoryan said.

    According to him, the expectations connected with the university are
    justified and it is intended to expand the frameworks of its activity.

    First of all the number of the languages is intended to add; currently
    the classes are conducted in 6 languages - West Armenian, East
    Armenian, English, Russian, French and Spanish. There is an intention
    to conduct the classes in Turkish and in other languages as well.

    According to the chairman of the university, the framework of study
    of Armenian history and culture will be expanded too, by involving
    different periods. Y. Zoryan noted that the teachers of the university
    pass special trainings; they must master languages fluently, as well
    as must have well-developed communications kills.

    Diplomas are given to the students of the university. The goal of
    the Armenian Virtual University is to help students to gain basic
    knowledge on Armenian culture, history and Armenian language through
    on-line education.
