Hi Richard,

I am forwarding you the message I received from Garegin this morning to see
if there is something we could do with your group of kids. Here it is :

Dear friends,

On the occasion of 77th anniversary of Armenia's Independence Day
(May 28, 1918) and realizing the unmeasurable importance of telecom
for cultural survival and consolidation of Armenians, Aragast Ben
Corp. on behalf of Initiative Group for the creation of Armenian
Educational Network-SpiurNet Group along with Ministry of Education
and Ministry of Communication of Armenia intend to organize a
telecommunicational session between teenagers from Armenia and
Diaspora.

The objective of this session is drawing attention to the potential
that the electronic communication can have in creating virtual
Armenian teenager communities and new teleeducational activities.

Session will be open also for others interested in the use of
telecommunications for education.

On May 28, 1995, presumably at 7 P.M. (Yerevan time) schoolchildren
located in Yerevan, Giumri, Goris and in other regions of Armenia will
be ready to exchange information with teenagers all over the world.

This session could happen either as Telnet session or as a mailing list
event on one of Armenian electronic mailing lists.

We would like to hear your opinion about the

1. Form of the session
2. Place (mailing list)
3. Time

of this event.

As May 28 is so close, please contact us before May 24,1995.

Our address is
aben@comtech.armenia.su

With respect,

Garegin Chookaszian
