YBC CONCERNED OVER POSSIBLE SPREAD OF PHYLLOXERA IN ARARAT VALLEY YEREVAN, MARCH 22. ARMINFO. The Yerevan Brandy Company (YBC) is concerned over possible spread of phylloxera in vines of the Ararat valley. The YBC press service reports that during the last few weeks the YBC management has repeatedly informed Armenia's authorities of its concern over the uncontrolled sale of trellises imported from the vines of Nagorny Karabakh that are not currently cultivated. According to the YBC managers, who share the concern expressed by Professor P. K. Aivazyan of the Armenian Academy of Agriculture, the use of trellises poses a serious risk of the spread of phylloxera, so it can endanger the vines of the Ararat valley and, therefore, the production of Armenian brandy. The YBC managers believe that the sale of trellises imported from phylloxera-struck regions must be immediately stopped. The YBC considers important urgent measures to restrict the area where the trellises have been sold and quarantine it. The YBC is carrying out explanatory work among the vine-growers of the Ararat valley. The YBC management also informed the NKR authorities of the advisability to prevent the sale, which can damage the vines of the Ararat valley in Armenia. THREE ARMENIAN ETHNO-CULTURAL COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOLS WORK IN MOSCOW MOSCOW, MARCH 22. ARMINFO. Three comprehensive schools with Armenian ethno-cultural components currently work in Moscow, Chief Specialist of the Pre-School and Comprehensive Education Department of Moscow Natalya Vaganova reported. She said that the first ethno-cultural school was opened in Moscow 15 years ago. Seventy four such schools (with Armenian, Jewish, Lithuania, Tatar etc.. ethno-cultural components) currently work in Moscow. Lessons are conducted in Russian, and this is the difference between ethno-cultural schools and national one, where the teaching process is in national languages. Vaganova said that the syllabi of ethno-cultural schools include the study of national languages. Schools can organize the teaching of national languages at several levels. Speaking of private ethno-cultural schools in Moscow, Vaganova stressed that children there can be taught by national syllabi and receive national certificates of education. The admissions to ordinary schools and ethno-cultural ones are not different. Many children from Armenia Azerbaijan and Georgia currently reside in Moscow, and they go to ethno-cultural schools, Vaganova said. HEADLINES OF FEBRUARY 22 MARCH
