The Bernardsville News (Bernards Township, New Jersey)
Friday, March 29, 2013

BERNARDS TWP. – Municipal Judge Donald P. Bogosian was reappointed by
the Township Committee on Tuesday, March 12, to serve another three
years.

Bogosian has held the post since March 2007. He also presides over the
joint New Providence-Berkeley Heights and Summit municipal courts.

`Judge Bogosian by all accounts is one of the best in the vicinage, is
professional and respected,’ Township Administrator Bruce McArthur
told the committee.

McArthur noted that Bogosian and the municipal prosecutor, Stephen
O. Davis, each accepted pay cuts to `keep the court affordable.’

Municipal courts have become a target of cost-sharing efforts, and
last year township officials initiated talks with Bedminster Township
about forming a joint court. Ultimately, Bernards officials ended the
talks, citing obstacles from the state.

Bogosian will be paid an annual salary of $46,000, down from $47,000
last year. Davis, who was reappointed to a one-year term in January,
will receive $38,000, down from last year’s salary of $40,261.

Committeeman Scott Spitzer said the concessions by the judge and
prosecutor are `reflective of their commitment to our community.’

Committeeman John Malay said the concessions also reflect well on the
court’s staff members, showing =80=9Cit’s easy and efficient to work
with them.’

The municipal court administrator is Luisa De Leon, who assumed the
post on Jan. 1 after serving as deputy court administrator. She
succeeded Carol Miller, who retired after 12 years in the post and 24
years on the municipal staff.

De Leon was hired at an annual salary of $62,000.

MAUNDY THURSDAY COMMEMORATION

On Thursday, March 28, 2013, Maundy Thursday was observed in Prelacy
Churches with three spiritually moving services commemorating the last days
of the earthly ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The day began with Divine Liturgy commemorating the Sacrament of
Communion instituted by Jesus Christ Himself during the Last Supper. In the
afternoon, the Washing of the Feet service was held during which priests
washed the feet of acolytes and faithful in the example of Jesus Christ Who
washed the feet of His disciples as a mark of humility. The most poignant
service of the day is held at night with the Vigil service commemorating the
betrayal, arrest, and torture of Jesus.
H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, conducted the
Washing of the Feet service at St. Sarkis Church in Pasadena. In his
message, the Prelate cited the Words of Jesus Christ to the Apostle Peter
“What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this”
(John 13:7), and elaborated that by washing the feet of His disciples, Jesus
gave a great commandment to us all, the commandment of love, service, and
humility. The earthly ministry of Christ is the greatest testament to the
immeasurable love of our Lord Who sent His Son to make an unfathomable
sacrifice for the remission of our sins. And through the Washing of the
Feet, our Lord commands us to follow in His perfect example by loving and
serving one another with humility and compassion, said the Prelate.
Later in the evening, the Prelate presided over the Vigil service at
St. Mary’s Church in Glendale. With the Church lights dimmed and the
reverberation of the spiritually stirring hymns “Glory to God in the
Highest” and “Where are you, My mother”, faithful somberly commemorated the
last day of Christ on earth and His path to the Cross for our salvation.
The Prelate stated that when Jesus was crucified, there were around Him
different groups of people; those who called for His death, those who denied
Him out of fear and doubt, and a third group comprised of His mother, close
relatives, and secret disciples who remained faithful to Him until the end,
among them the Apostle John standing next to the Holy Mother of God, to whom
Jesus said, “Woman, behold your son!” Then He said to the disciple, “Behold
your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home
(John 19:25-27)). Blessed are those among us who count ourselves among the
group who remained faithfully devoted to Him, for only then will we triumph
over sin and death and be worthy of His promise of redemption and salvation,
concluded the Prelate.

HOLY TUESDAY COMMEMORATION

On the evening of Tuesday, March 26, 2013, Holy Tuesday, or the
Parable of the Ten Maidens, was commemorated in Prelacy Churches. H.E.
Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, presided over the service at Holy
Martyrs Church in Encino. Sunday School students participated in the
singing of the service and also represented the ten maidens.
In his message, the Prelate went over the Parable of the Ten
Maidens, explaining that the groom symbolizes our Lord Jesus Christ and how
five of the maidens had the wisdom and foresight to bring extra oil with
them while the five unwise maidens did not have the foresight of doing so
and thus were not there to greet the groom. The timeless message of the
Parable which still applies to our lives today, said the Prelate, is to live
in the example of the five wise maidens and be prepared and alert at all
times. Being prepared means doing the right thing and obeying the Word of
God, and being alert means not being deceived and led by evil, but rather
choosing the righteous path, stated the Prelate. Thus, only by being
prepared and alert and living God-pleasing lives according to His Word can
we greet Christ. Holy Week is also a time to prepare ourselves for the
upcoming celebration of the Glorious Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ
on Easter Sunday, concluded the Prelate.

PALM SUNDAY CELEBRATION

On Sunday, March 24, 2013, the triumphant entry of our Lord Jesus
Christ into Jerusalem was festively celebrated in Prelacy Churches with
Divine Liturgy, the children’s procession, and the Opening of Portals
service. Churches were beautifully decorated with palm leaves while
children held candles adorned with olive branches symbolizing the peace our
Savior brings.
H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, having returned from
his trip to the Vatican and Canterbury the day before, celebrated Palm
Sunday at Holy Cross Cathedral in Montebello. It was the first Divine
Liturgy celebrated in the Cathedral after the renovation project. Rev. Fr.
Ashod Kambourian assisted at the altar, and in honor of the Episcopal Divine
Liturgy, one of the altar servers was Mr. David Ghoogasian, the new
principal of Mesrobian School.
The Prelate began his sermon by thanking God for his safe return
back to the Prelacy after participating in the inauguration of Pope Francis
and the enthronement of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Stating that the
message of both those historic occasion was an inspiration to serve
faithfully with humility, simplicity, love, and devotion, he called on the
faithful to follow in the example of the two spiritual leaders and commit to
continuing their dedicated service to the Armenian Apostolic Church and
community with love and humility, for the glory of God and for the
advancement of our nation.
Next, the Prelate reflected on the re-opening of the Cathedral after
months of renovation, stating that Holy Cross has been providing spiritual
nourishment to the community for three decades from this Cathedral, and that
the renovation project is not just a physical overhaul but a testament to
the commitment of the Parish to move forward in its mission for many more
years to come. Thus, His Eminence commended the Pastor, Board of Trustees,
Delegates, and all those who were involved and contributed to the successful
realization of the endeavor, especially the Tumanjian family whose
benevolence made the project possible, and thanked them for their years-long
unwavering support and encouragement of the parish and community.
Speaking on the feast of the triumphant entry of our Lord Jesus
Christ into Jerusalem, the Prelate noted that Jesus rode into Jerusalem
knowing perfectly well what the journey would entail, that He was about to
face the greatest challenge in His earthly life – trial, torture, and
crucifixion, but that the outcome would be the greatest triumph for mankind,
His Glorious Resurrection and promise of salvation. The inspiring lesson
and message of Palm Sunday is the Truth that Easter Sunday will triumph over
Good Friday, that our greatest challenges have the potential to become our
greatest victories. The New King, our Redeemer and Savior, was coming to
restore the Kingdom of God, and the crowds enthusiastically greeted Him,
laying down their garments in His path and waving palm branches while
shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David; Blessed is He Who comes in the name
of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest”. Their long-awaited desire was
fulfilled; the Messiah they had been waiting for had come. It was a day to
rejoice.
As they were laying down their palms and their cloaks before Jesus,
they were symbolically relinquishing control, submitting themselves to Him
in obedience. And that is what we are called to do today; to lay down our
cloaks before Jesus, lay down our ideas and thoughts, trust not in our own
understanding of Him and His purpose for us, but rather open the portals of
our hearts and souls to Him and surrender to His will for our lives,
whatever it may be. Jesus came that we may have life, and have it
abundantly. We are restored to God when we are freed from sin and live the
lives that God has called us to live. Only then will our eyes be opened to
the promised salvation Christ brings, said the Prelate.
The children’s procession took place at the conclusion of Divine
Liturgy, led by the Prelate and comprised of Sunday School students and
faithful children. The procession circled the courtyard and returned to the
Cathedral, upon which began the Opening of the Portals service conducted by
the Prelate. This year’s godfather was Anthony Guldalian, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Chris Guldalian.
The Palm Sunday celebration continued with a luncheon at “Bagramian”
Hall, organized by the Parish Ladies Guild and the local ARS “Ani” Chapter.
Among the guests were benefactor Mr. George Tumanjian with his family and
representatives of sister organizations. During the luncheon, guests
enjoyed a musical performance by a group of Mesrobian School students.
Opening remarks were delivered by Ladies Guild Chair Mrs. Elizabeth
Khanjian. The Prelate delivered the invocation and blessed the tables.
Remarks were also conveyed by ARS “Ani” Chapter Chair Mrs. Nevart Mouradian,
Mesrobian School principal Mr. David Ghoogasian, both of whom stressed the
value of collaboration between the Church, School, and sister organizations.
Holy Cross Cathedral Board of Trustees Chair Mrs. Goharik Gabriel
gave an overview of the renovation project, and on behalf of the parish
community thanked the Tumanjian family for their sponsorship of the project,
and especially Michael Tumanjian who supervised the endeavor. She then
invited him to share his thoughts on this occasion.
Mr. Tumanjian expressed that it was a blessing and honor for him to
be able to oversee the renovation project, thanked his father George for
sponsoring the expenses, and his son Micky for his active involvement in the
project. The guests expressed their appreciation to the Tumanjian family
with their loud applause.
Rev. Fr. Ashod Kambourian also offered his word of thanks and
congratulation to the benefactor and to the Holy Cross Cathedral family on
the successful realization of this endeavor.
The Prelate commended Mr. George Tumanjian for his latest generosity
and for this unwavering support to Holy Cross Cathedral throughout the
years, and commended Mr. Michael Tumanjian for ably overseeing the project
over the past three months and ensuring its timely completion by Palm
Sunday. At the conclusion of the luncheon, guests approached the Tumanjian
family to personally convey their appreciation to the family.

REUTERS: AZERBAIJAN, ARMENIA DEAL ON DISPUTED AREA UNLIKELY, SAYS KARABAKH PM

10:41 29/03/2013 ” ANALYSIS

Azerbaijan and Armenia are unlikely to reach a deal this year over the
disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh and there is a risk of the
region sliding towards a war, the enclave’s prime minister has said,
Reuters said in an article on Thursday.

Foreign governments are wary of skirmishes in the South Caucasus due
to concerns that a new conflict could erupt, threatening pipelines
that carry natural gas and oil to Europe in an area where Russia,
Turkey and Iran all have strategic interests, the article said.

“If we manage to end the year peacefully then that will be
constructive, but in terms of concrete accords to resolve the conflict,
I’m not optimistic for this year,” Arayik Haroutiounian told Reuters
in Paris during a visit to meet Franco-Armenian investors.

The enclave of 160,000 people runs its own affairs with heavy Armenian
military and financial backing. Armenia has a security deal with
Russia, while Azerbaijan has one with Turkey.

Oil-producing Azerbaijan, host to global majors including BP, Chevron
and ExxonMobil, often threatens to take it back by force, though it
says it favors diplomacy.

“Neither Karabakh nor Azerbaijan would benefit from a war as I don’t
think either country would win outright, but we can’t rule it out,”
Haroutiounian said.

While he said that Nagorno-Karabakh would not strike first, his
administration had, like Azerbaijan, steadily increased arms imports
to ensure it could defend itself.

“I think that a new war would lead to a huge humanitarian crisis and
be extremely bloody,” he said.

“The losses would be much greater than before – hundreds of thousands
killed and injured – because of the arms race of the last few years.”

There have been several rounds of talks between the neighbors since
1994. The foreign ministers of both countries met this month for
informal talks mediated by Russia, France and the United States in
a team known as the Minsk Group.

Those talks, which do not include Nagorno-Karabakh representatives,
have yet to yield any results, although there is hope that the
re-election of Armenian President Serzh Sarksyan will give fresh
impetus to finding a solution.

Sarksyan has previously accused Azerbaijan of accumulating a
“horrendous quantity” of arms to prepare for a resumption of fighting.

But he has also said he wants a negotiated deal.

Haroutiounian, who fought in the 1991-1994 conflict, said that for
the moment public opinion in Azerbaijan and Armenia was not ready
for a compromise, making it much harder for their leaders to accept
any settlement, the article said.

DEADLY ACCIDENT: WORKER PLUMMETS 34 METERS TO HIS DEATH AT TEGHOUT
Larisa Paremuzyan

23:41, March 27, 2013

A worker was killed on March 22 at the Teghout Enrichment Plant when
the crane basket he was in plummeted 34 meters to the ground.

The 24 year-old worker, Yerevan resident Seyran Arakaleyan, had been
employed by a company called Yerevan Metallic Constructs Factory.

The company was contracted to dismantle various metal structures at
the Teghout site.

Rouben Papoyan, a member of the Tegout CJSC board, stated that
Yerevan Metallic was solely responsible for the mishap, adding that
an investigation is underway.

Seyran Arakelyan started to work at Teghout in the fall of 2012.

Supervisors of the Yerevan Metallic work crew were at the site when
the accident occurred.

When this reporter visited the site two days ago, they had left to
attend Arakelyan’s funeral.

This is the second deadly accident at the Teghout site.

On December 26, 2012, fifty year-old Gagik Kochinyan fell from the
second story of a mineral ore warehouse and died in a Yerevan hospital
eight days later.

In both cases, criminal investigations are underway by local Alaverdi
authorities.

ONLY UNITED PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE COULD INFLUENCE THE REGIME – ALEXANDER ARZUMANYAN

TERT.AM
13:24 ~U 28.03.13

Member of Free Democrats party Alexander Arzumanyan told a news
conference today that the only way to fight against the authorities
was participation in the presidential elections with united candidate
which though did not happen.

He said the experience shows that the authorities are being reproduced
and it happened on February 18. “Only united candidate may influence
the ruling regime. These elections were a good opportunity for
consolidation and I regret that this consolidation has failed,”
he said.

Referring to the decision of the party not to participate in City
Council elections, Arzumanyan said hardly finishing one process,
the political field enters another one, which as of the moment is a
political crisis. He said if there was a time between these processes
our participation could have been logical.

He said today Armenia must make many radical changes and the
authorities should realize that they cannot move forward with
imitations.

Speaking about the appointment of new PM, Arzumanyan said if Prime
Minister Tigran Sargsyan had freedom to act independently from the
created oligarchic system he may continue working.

“For us it is not the issue of personality, it is the issue of the
system, the mechanism works wrong,” he said, convincing that cosmetic
changes will not do anything.

Arzumanyan abstained from giving assessments to the opposition parties
participating in City Council elections and wished success to everyone.
