ROBERT KOCHARYAN: YEREVAN AND BAKU SPEAK ABOUT WAR IN NAGORNY KARABAKH IN DIFFERENT
PLANES

SEPTEMBER 29. Armenia and Azerbaijan speak about war in Nagorny Karabakh in different
planes. Today Armenia's President Robert Kocharyan stated during the meet with
Russian journalists. "We assert that who begins the war will lose it. We don't
speak about military solution of the Karabakh conflict", the President mentioned.
According to Robert Kocharyan, in the present phase of the Karabakh settlement
it is important to solve two problems. It is, first of all, the readiness of
the Azeri society to make compromises, possible in the result of settlement of
the problem, as well as the readiness of political leaders of two countries to
undertake responsibility and "run political risks", fulfilling these solutions.
According to the President, the last proposal of the OSCE Minsk Group on Nagorny
Karabakh really envisaged a mutual compromise, and Armenia accepted it. This
is already the second package of settlement of the Karabakh conflict, proposed
by the international mediators, which Armenia accepted and Azerbaijan refused,
Robert Kocharyan stated.

ARMENIA'S PRESIDENT DOES NOT SEE MUTUAL INTEREST IN ARMENIA'S JOINING THE UNION
RUSSIA-BYELORUS

SEPTEMBER 29. Armenia's President Robert Kocharyan doesn't see mutual interest
in Armenia's joining the union Russia-Byelorus. The President Robert Kocharyan
today informed during the meeting with journalists. According to Robert Kocharyan,
the absence of common borders between Armenia and other states of the union are
not the least of the factors. Presently Armenia's entry the union will only create
unnecessary problems in the relations with Russia and Byelorus, which are not
there today, the President thinks. He also mentioned that the political forces
of Armenia denies the possibility of the republic's joining the union, seeing
in it threat to independent state system of the country. Again stressing that
the issue of Armenia's joining the union is not on the foreign political agenda
of Yerevan, the President said that he welcomes the creation of this union. In
exchange for it, the bilateral relations are being dynamically developed, Kocharyan
mentioned.

COLLECTED SCENARIOS BY SERGEY PARAJANOV PUBLISHED FOR THE FIRST TIME

SEPTEMBER 29. A collection of scenarios by famous film director of the Armenian
origin Sergey Parajanov has been published recently by art critic Kora Tsereteli.
The collection embraced the screen scripts of the renowned films by Parajanov,
"Sayat-Nova" and "Confession" as well as scenarios which have been published
for the first time like "Martyrdom of Shushanik," "Ara the Handsome," "Miracle
in Odense," which never became movies for various reasons, for example because
of Parajanov's imprisonment by the Soviet era authorities. During a meeting with
journalists recently Tsereteli has said it was a hard job to collect materials
concerning Parajanov as the maestro had the habit to give his friends not only
his collages but also whole pages from his original scripts. So many of them
are in private hands. One of such private owners, Parajanov's friend Inna Gens
has said recently she is going to inherit all the maestro's works kept in her
family to the Parajanov House-Museum in Yerevan. She said it was great pleasure
to her to be Parajanov's friend. Besides several miraculous works by Parajanov,
she also has many recollections, such as one when the maestro broke into her
and her husband's house in the night to perform "La Traviatta" for them the way
it might be performed at a provincial Armenian theatre. The collection also includes
Parajanov's letters from the prison.

CATHOLICOS OF ALL ARMENIANS AND POPE MAKE JOINT STATEMENT

SEPTEMBER 29. During Pope John Paul II's visit to Armenia September 25-27, Catholicos
of All Armenians Garegin II and the Pope made a joint statement. According to
the information provided to ARMINFO by the press service of Holy Echmiadzin,
the document, in particular, points out that the Genocide committed at the beginning
of the 20th century against 1.5 million of Armenian Christians and the following
annihilation of the people by the former totalitarian regime were tragedies,
everlastingly living in the memory of the current generation. The innocent victims
of the tragedies were not iconized, but many of them lived and died with the
name of Christ. "We are praying for the peace of their souls and hope that the
faithful will never forget the significance of their sacrifice," the joint statement
says. It also stresses that the example of Christian Armenia testifies that the
faith in Christ gives hope to the humanity in any situations, irrespective of
the hardships. "We are praying for the light of faith to shine for developed
and developing countries of the world," the statement says.
