Armenian Diplomat Nanagulian Visits Fresno
By Marlene Bryant
Staff Writer
—
The purpose of this visit is to establish
communication between Armenia and the
United States. We want to become acquainted with the Armenia community of
Fresno," said Garnik Nanagulian, Deputy
Chief of Mission of the Armenian Embassy
in Washington , D.C, during his first visit
to the Fresno area on March 26,1993.
"Five years ago, Armenia was sunny,
beautiful andpicturesque. But now, the country is a wasteland of misery due to the
blockade imposed by the Azerbaijan government. Armenia has suffered a breakdown in the economy and there is a lack of
medicine, food, and shelter."
The conflict in Karabagh is now a full-
scale war with high-tech weapons and
causualties to match. The Azeri economic
blockade has cut off all energy and transportation between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The border is now closed, with no transportation moving from either side.
Political turmoil in Georgia has compounded since Armenia's economic difficulties and the explosion of the railbridge
over the Haram River. Irony exists since on
the same day, a ship delivered wheat to
Armenia. Due to the destruction of the
bridge, 28 thousand desperately needed tons
of wheat remained in the United States until
the bridge was repaired; Fifteen days were
needed to construct aft added link to the
bridge that would be used for only sixty
days. It would take approximately sixty days
to reconstruct the bridge. The bridge was
secured by joint Georgia and Armenian
troops.
The first shipment of 150 containers arrived in Armenia on Saturday, March 26,
1993, as part of Operation Winter Rescue.
Of the 700 containers shipped from the
United States, an estimated 500 containers
were filled through the efforts of Armenians.
During the summer of 1993, more plans
will be discussed concerning a new campaign to aid Armenia, These efforts will
allow Armenia to prepare for the next winter
that it must endure.
'The assistance you (the Americans) are
sending will save many lives in Armenia.
This is no exaggeration," said Nanagulian.
According to Nanagulian, Armenia's new
democracy should have the opportunity to
succeed with help from the oldest democracy in the world, the United States.
Armenia has a long, difficult road to travel
before it reaches economic stability. Other
countries will assist Armenia through this
difficult transition. Maintaining the fundamental rights of the Armenian citizens and
gaining a healthy economy are the main
objectives facing the Armenians.
Nanagulian was in Fresno at the invitation
ofthe Armenian Community Council ofthe
San Joaquin Valley. He spoke to the public
at the St. Paul Armenian Church Berberian
Hall and on Saturday was the guest of the
Community Council at a private breakfast
