Talks politics with ASO
Momjian stresses youth
By MARK MALKASIAN
Set Momjian, one of the Armenian-
American community's greatest political
assets, sees a "rising star" in the Armenian future-"the youth."
During his recent trip to Fresno,
Momjian was feted many times and at
many different locales, but his most
"exciting experience" was his meeting
with the CSUF Armenian Students
Organization.
Momjian, the former United States
Representative to the United Nations
and currently the Nationalities Chairman
of the Democratic Party, invited ASO
members to ask questions; "the tougher
the better," he announced. And Momjian came away from his encounter
notably impressed with the political
savvy of Armenian youth.
"I think the Armenian youth are more
attuned to the problems and solutions
(of the Armenian Question) than many
very dedicated people who have been
toiling in the field for years," he said.
Momjian advocated changes in Armenian organizations to accommodate an
increasingly restless and well-informed
youth.
"You are not going to fool them," he
said. "And they are not going to get involved unless they see success."
Taking a subtle jab at Armenian
political parties, Momjian said, "You
can't go after the same thing for fifty
years and not be any closer than you
were fifty years ago."
Momjian suggested that every organization conduct an annual evaluation-the
organizational equivalent of a corporate
profit and loss statement. "Every organi
zation must be honest with itself," he
said.
Momjian is especially seeking to involve young Armenian-American journalists in the Armenian Question.
"There are very few American-born
Armenians running these (Armenian)
newspapers. If organizations offered
these    journalists    scholarships,    they

ASO President Bryan Bedrosian introduces Set Momjian at CSUF.
Etchmiadzin bulletin
During October 4th through the 10th, 1979, a meeting was held at the
Veharan (official residence of Catholicos) of the Mother See, between the
representatives of the Catholicossate of All Armenians, and the Catho-
licossate of the See of Cilicia.
The purpose of the meeting was to negotiate the elimination of the
dissention between the two heirarchiela Sees, and to reestablish the complete unity of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
The Mother See was represented by the following: Archbishops
Serovpe Manougian, Gomitas Der Stepanian, Torkom Manoogian, Shahe
Ajemian, Vatche Hovsepian.
The See of Cilicia was represented by the following: Archbishop
Ardavast Terterian, Bishop Datev Sarkissian, Bishop Mesrob Ashijian,
Mr. Vahe Setian, Mr. Vartkes Der Garabedian.
The sessions of the meeting were alternately conducted by the two
chairmen; Archbishop Serovpe Manoukian, and Archbishop Ardivast
Terterian. The secretaries were: Archbisop Torkom Manoogian, and Mr.
Vartkes Der. Garabedian.
The meeting had five (5) sessions, during which time five (5) items
were proposed by the Mother See.
1) The universality of the Catholicossate of All Armenians.
2) The legality of the Dioceses attached to the Catholoicossate of
Cilicia.
3) The deletion of Articles 32 and 33 from the By-Laws of the Catholicossate of Cilicia.
4) The question of representing the Armenian Church with one delegation at the World Council of Churches, and similar organizations.
5) The recognition by all the Dioceses of the punitive actions taken
against clergymen.
In a warm, brotherly-atmosphere, led with the desire to truly reestablish the unity of the Armenian Church, the meeting formulated
resolutions on those items around which positive results were registered.
1) The representatives searched for avenues and solutions which would
elimiinate wrong understandings concerning the position and authority
of each Catholicos, declaring the Catholicos of All Armenians as the
Universal Chief-Shepherd of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
2) The meeting expressed its contentment with the same spirit concerning the deletion of Articles 32 and 33 from the Constitution of the
Catholicossate of Cilicia with the belief that this deletion would smooth
the way towards solving the question of the Dioceses.
3) Concerning the above Dioceses, the meeting accepts the priniciple
of returning to the legal conditions that had existed before 1957, leaving
