AGBU has had a long history in Armenia, initiating its first projects in the late 1920's with the construction of the village of Nubarashen, a maternity hospital, eye clinic and an apartment building in Yerevan. Even though all foreign participation was banned by the Soviet Union in the mid 30's, AGBU was permitted to continue its allocations to universities, hospitals and Holy See of Etchmiadzin through the ensuing years. With the independence of Armenia, donors and major benefactors have funded and endowed a number of long-term AGBU educational, cultural, humanitarian and religious programs. Spanning all age and income groups, AGBU donor-funded special projects over the past ten years have served hundreds of thousands in Armenia and annually employ some 1000 plus individuals. AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF ARMENIAAUA continues to offer extraordinary opportunities in higher education with its Master’s degree programs in Business Management, Engineering, Law, Public Health, Political Science and Conservation and Environmental Science. In 2001, a new degree program in Computer and Information Science was added. The University now boasts an alumni of over 850, many of whom are quickly succeeding in their chosen careers. American University of Armenia graduates, with their computer and English skills, their Western training and field work experience are today breaking new ground in a wide variety of fields. Annually some 350 students are enrolled in the two-year program. Address: 40 Baghramian St., Yerevan 375019Tel: (374 1) 51 25 26 ST. NERSES HOSPITALIn 2001 AGBU purchased the 120 bed Proctology Hospital which has for several years housed the AGBU sponsored Reconstructive Surgery Center. In late 2001 AGBU passed the hospital to Holy Etchmiadzin to promote the Church’s humanitarian mission. AGBU will fund the renovation of the newly named St. Nerses Hospital, which includes departments of proctology, orthopedics, ENT, general and reconstructive surgery.

In 2000, AGBU and Jefferson opened a new Ultrasound training center at the Yerevan State Medical Institute for students and doctors. Ultrasound, a safe and relatively inexpensive method of imaging the body, is used as a diagnostic clinical tool for a wide variety of conditions. Medical personnel receive instruction and hands-on training at the Center in all applications of ultrasound, including interventional, abdominal, obstetrics and gynecology.

With overcrowded schools and shortened class hours, the Centers provide history, languages, art, music, dance, crafts and gymnastic programs each day from two in the afternoon to seven in the evening. All three centers include a chapel and weekly church services and Bible studies. The combined Centers have an enrollment of 3500 students, ages five to sixteen, and employ an administrative staff of three hundred. Over the past three years each center has undergone an extensive renovation to update classrooms. Three AGBU’s soup Kitchens are presently located at the Arapkir, Malatya and Nork Centers.

Many of our recipients often take the ample portions home to share with their friends and families. For those who are ill or handicapped, special volunteers deliver the meals to their homes. In 2000 AGBU renovated facilities at the Children’s Centers to house the three Yerevan soup kitchens. ARMENIA PHILHARMONICRecognizing the importance of the performing arts in Armenia, AGBU has since 1992 subsidized the one hundred-member Armenia Philharmonic. Annual grants are allocated for weekly concerts, new instruments, administration, salary supplements, international guest artists and special festivals. The Philharmonic has successfully toured Austria, France, Greece, England, Lebanon and Iran and produced over dozen CD recordings. Address: 46 Mashtots Ave., YerevanTel: (374 1) 56 74 38, 56 49 65 KARABAKHThe District of France has undertaken the reconstruction of 29 houses and a school in the village of Norashen, Karabakh. Nineteen homes have been completed. Norashen, in the middle of the war zone during the 1988 to 1994 conflict with Azerbaijan, was completely destroyed. Strongly attached to their village, families have returned with the completion of construction. A second project undertaken by the District of France has been assistance to a number of widows and their children by providing two milk cows and two calves per family in order to supplement living expenses. HOLY ETCHMIADZINOUTSIDE ALTARThe construction of Outside Altar on the grounds of Holy Etchmiadzin was sponsored by an AGBU benefactor. The altar and surrounding area will accommodate 10,000 attendees during special services. In addition the interior frescoes of the Holy Etchmiadzin Cathedral were restored to their original colors in honor of the 1700 th anniversary of Christianity as the State religion of Armenia. ST. HAKOP ARMENIAN CHURCHSt. Hakop Armenian Church, founded by a major US donor in the new Ani section of Gyumri was completed in September 2002. The apartment complexes of Ani with a population of 50,000 plus were built to house homeless victims of the 1988 earthquake. The Church with classrooms and offices offers religious services, Sunday School and a number of activities for children and adults, generating a new sense of community in Ani. SEVAN SEMINARYEstablished in 1993, the Vaskenian Sevan Seminary (named in honor of the late Vasken I, of blessed memory, Catholicos of all Armenians) received a major grant from an AGBU donor for the construction of a 100-student dormitory and private chapel on the extensive grounds of the Lake Sevan property. The new dormitory will include staff rooms, offices, library and student quarters. The building was completed in 2002. To date, the Seminary has graduated some sixty deacons and priests. They are currently assigned to a number of parishes, serving as chaplains in army service or are assigned to administrative positions at Holy Etchmiadzin. A group of AGBU individual donors from the United States has sponsored the Seminary’s annual expenses for the past seven years through establishing AGBU endowments. ST. GREGORY CATHEDRALSt. Gregory Cathedarl, the largest Armenian church in the world, was inaugurated in September 2001 as a symbol of the 1700 th anniversary. Over 15,000 attended the ceremonies, which were widely aired on television. AGBU donors were major funders during the five-year construction.
