would devote an hour or two a week to
these papers."
Momjian had another suggestion for
politically aware Armenians-cultivate
black support.
"One-third of the countries in the U.N.
are black and if Armenians are to accomplish anything they must educate these
countries. They know nothing about
Armenians."
Earlier in the day Momjian took a step
in that direction when he spoke to more
than 150 CSUF students, including many
blacks, and lavishly praised former U.N.
ambassador Andy Young.
Momjian later confided to Armenian
students, "If Andy Young decided to
make the Armenian cause his cause, we
could just sit back."
Momjian said he asked Young to
mention Armenians in his speeches. If
he does, Momjian promised, "You will
start to see things happen that haven't
happened before."
"Today I spoke about Andy Young and
blacks will understand that Armenians
are for Andy Young. That is what we
need."
Momjian explained that neither the
United States nor the Soviet Union has
substantial support in the U.N. General
Assembly. The Palestinians, however,
have virtually the entire Third World
behind them and are able to pass almost
anything, he said.
Momjian has repeatedly called on
Armenian organizations to hire blacks to
represent Armenians among Third
World countries.
Within the United States Momjian
favors continuing involvement in the
political system. During his U.N. stint,
Momjian gained a valuable insight into
the workings of American foreign policy.
He particularly relished a rather impressive coup he staged last spring during
the Paragraph 30 debate.
Momjian had received orders "from
the State Department" to give a pro-
Turkish speech. Naturally, Momjian
objected and he began a man-to-man
search for the source of the directive.
Eventually he traced the memo to the
U.S. Ambassador to Turkey, and, with a
single telephone call to the Ambassador,
Momjian was able to redirect American
foreign policy. The final result was
American support for Paragraph 30.
"A lot of times when things go wrong
we blame the President, the State Department, or Brezinski (National Security Advisor), when actually it's often one
individual. When we have problems
we must pinpoint where the actual
problem is."

Unity
up to the Catholicoi, the steps to be taken in this direction.
4) The meeting did not agree on the issue of one delegation representing the Armenian Church at the World Council of Churches. The reconsideration of this item was left to be discussed at the next meeting.
5) The meeting unanimously accepted the principle of mutually honoring the punitive and defroking decisions taken against clergymen by all
the church authorities.
By establishing the inner unity of the Armenian Church once and for
all, the meeting finds it desirable that the reformation of the Armenian
Church be undertaken with the participation of all the hierarchial Sees.
The representatives decided to present the results of their deliberations to the Catholicos of All Armenians, and to the Catholicos of the
Great House of Cilicia, to dispose them in the proper manner.
The representatives of the Catholicos of All Armenians accepted the
proposal to hold the next meeting at the invitation of the Catholicossate
of the Great House of Cilicia.
The date for the next meeting is foreseen in the month of March, 1980.
The representatives considered the work they had done as a positive
first-step, and expressed the hope that at future meeings, and with the
exchange of letters, an agreement will be reached on all issues for the
realization of the unity of the Armenian Church and the Armenian
people.
