By Hratch Tchilingirian
The decline of “Armenian education” in Bulgaria and its consequences on preservation of identity is a constant concern of Bulgarian Armenian community leaders.

Interview de Hratch Tchilingirian par Khatchig Mouradian, le 7 août 2004, Aztag
Parue dans « Aztagdaily » , traduction Louise Kiffer.
« L’Abkhazie n’est pas un endroit pour des vacances, c’est une zone de guerre » a dit le Président géorgien Mikhaïl Saakashvili au début de ce mois, menaçant de couler les bateaux étrangers (sous-entendu : russes) qui entreraient dans la région sans autorisation de son gouvernement. Ses commentaires arrivèrent à un moment où les tensions s’élevaient entre les autorités centrales de Géorgie et deux de ses régions dissidentes, l’Ossétie du sud et l’Abkhazie, que Saakashvili avait promis de récupérer. Moscou s’est opposée furieusement à ces déclarations, ses relations avec la Géorgie s’étant effondrées depuis que la « révolution rose » avait porté au pouvoir Saakashvili le pro-occidental.

South Caucasus: A war-zone or a place for holidays?
An Interview with Hratch Tchilingirian
by Khatchig Mouradian
`Abkhazia is not a place for holidays...it is a war zone,' said Georgian leader Mikhail Saakashvili earlier this month, threatening to sink foreign (implicitly understood as Russian) ships that enter the region without permission from his government. His comments came as tensions escalated between the central authorities of Georgia and two of its breakaway regions, South Ossetia and Abkhazia, which Saakashvili has promised to win back. Saakashvili's pronouncements on South Ossetia and Abkhazia have been furiously opposed by Moscow, whose relations with Georgia have plummeted from bad to worse since a `rose revolution' brought pro-western Saakhasvili to power.

Armenian Reporter Internatinal [Paramus] 21 Aug 2004: 25.
Dr. Hratch Tchilingirian lectured recently at Haigazian University on "The Armenian Community of Abkhazia."
Tchilingirian described the overall situation in Abkhazia, which lies on the northeastern shores of the Black Sea and has a territory of 8,600 sq km. Abkhazia was an autonomous republic within Georgia during the Soviet period. With its wonderful climate and developed infrastructure for tourism, it was considered the "Riviera" of the Soviet Union. Successive Soviet leaders from Stalin onwards had their summer resorts in Abkhazia. About 1.5 million tourists visited Abkhazia annually in Soviet times, when its total population was only half a million. Agriculture was also a very successful sector of the economy, and Abkhazia had one of the highest GDPs in the Soviet Union.
