Within thehour of the call, Armine was already attheir home and filed the story. Her fiveminutereport resulted in over one hundredcalls from the United States andArmenia, with callers (who ranged frombusinesspeople to people who werepoor themselves) offering beds, food,and money. Even Armenia’s minister ofhealth offered assistance to alleviate thefamily’s dire circumstances.“I especially like these kinds of reports,”says Armine, who was still moved by theexperience. “Because each journalist hasan advantage besides showing the truthand the reality. They must help people.”Every day, Armenia TV’s newsroomArmine Amiryan at work.hotline receives over one hundred callsfrom viewers who have stories waitingto be told, Armine says. “We want tocover reports that are interesting for everyaudience member,” says Armine. “Issuesabout trash, elevators, social problems,and we are covering these stories.People who have had no water for up tofive years and we are coving this, andafter five years these people are gettingwater. It’s amazing.”For Armine, it’s fulfilling when theArmenian government responds to theissues. “After each report, we get a responsefrom different ministries,” shesays. “They are calling us and saying,‘Tomorrow we are going to resolve thisproblem.’ And we go back and cover howthe problems are resolved.”When Armine first went into journalism,she understood the professionis not just about telling the news. Shewanted to initiate change for the peopleand this was the perfect means.“Reporters are a tool to help people,”she stresses. “Through us we can resolveproblems, through us we can revealproblems that most people don’t evenknow about. And once people know, theproblems become easier to resolve.”US Armenia TV’s newestreporterArmenia TV’s sister company in theUnited States – U.S.-Armenia TV – will behome for Armine for the next six months,during which she will work as the station’sspecial correspondent. Her reportswill be broadcast around the globe.“Most Armenians think that Americais a dream country, but America has alot of problems,” Armine says. “EvenArmenians there have a lot of socialproblems but many Armenians from Armeniacannot even imagine these kindsof problems exist. If we start to coverthese types of stories, to cover the lifeof Armenians in the diaspora – musicians,doctors, politicians, even Armenianswho are not famous but are doinginteresting jobs – it will be very interestingbecause each family in Armenia hassomeone in the United States.”Diaspora news is not the only theme onArmine’s agenda. With the recent electionof Barack Obama, the U.S. is noticeablyin a period of transformation andtopics ranging from the current economiccrisis to foreign affairs are issues that willalso interest audiences in Armenia.If you love what you do, itwon’t feel like work“My life is the TV station,” says Armine.“Sometimes I’m a reporter, camera operator,and editor at the same time becauseI love my job.”The best part of journalism for Armineis being in the field. “To be withthe people, to be in the center,” she says.“In places where the news changes veryoften because today around the worldnews changes very often. Today peoplehave the Internet and they receive thenews rapidly. I do everything so that Ican change the way I think because everyday the way news is told changes aroundthe world. People are beginning to deliverthe news through iReports and throughour hotline. People are giving us information,they are working with the TV stations,and everything is always changing.The people are becoming the news, so youhave to change the way you think and Ilike to be where there is always change.”Journalism has taken Armine to placesshe could not have even expected. “I neverimagined that I would be inside the WhiteHouse, that I would be inside the State Department,the European Parliament, that Icould be inside cnn,” she says. “Even now,sometimes when I watch cnn, I think, ‘Iwas there?’ It was like a dream.”“At that time I never thought I would reachso far at such a young age, that this manydoors would open,” Armine continues. “Everyday I learn something new. Now thatI’m going to America, I know I’ll experiencesomething new. I’ve reported from manydifferent countries, but for the first time Iwill be living in a foreign country.”Armine adds, “I think this will be a goodexperience for me because, again, I’ll beworking for Armenians and I’m proud tobe Armenian.”connect:usarmeniatv.comarmeniatv.amC10 Armenian Reporter Arts & Culture December 6, 2008

Amongthe most prestigious and influential ofthese, though short-lived, was GladzorUniversity, not far from Noravank inthe modern -day Vayots Dzor Region.The university moved around betweena few locations during itsroughly 50-year existence (1282–1338)and none of its premises have survivedintact, though Tanahat Monastery,where it is believed to have beenfounded, can still be visited today. Asmedieval universities go, Gladzor wasahead of its time, with specialized departmentssuch as the School of ArmenianMiniature Painting, which combinedthe miniature painting schoolsof Cilicia and Central Armenia, wheresome of the country’s most talentedminiature artists created their masterpieces.The features of the Gladzorschool of painting were later reflectedin the works of painters from othercenters of Syunik. Among these arethe manuscripts of Tatev Monastery,which was the main successor of theGladzor tradition.Armenians have a long andimpressive tradition ofgroundbreaking universitiesthat started in the 5thcentury when MesrobMashtots and his disciplesfounded schools throughoutthe nation.The famed book of Gladzor Gospels,created around 1307, contains someof the finest examples of Armenianminiature painting. Owned at varioustimes by merchants and princes, theGladzor Gospels is now in the CharlesE. Young Research Library at the Universityof California, Los Angeles. Ithas been carefully examined andpraised by scholars around the world.An in-depth study of the Gladzor Gospels,the historical and cultural contextsunder which it was created, andCover of The Armenian Gospels of Gladzor: The Life ofChrist Illuminated.the significance of Gladzor University,is presented in the book, The ArmenianGospels of Gladzor: The Life of Christ Illuminatedby Thomas F. Mathews andAlice Taylor. The book includes a fascinatingsection about the prominenceof women in the miniatures of Gladzor,which was very rare for the timeperiod.In addition to its famously high standardsof education in theology, the arts,and sciences, Gladzor University soughtto maintain the independence of the ArmenianChurch and reject papal authority.Indeed, the university was a bastionfor Armenia’s theological resistance toCatholicism.Traditionally, universities have beenknown as centers where new ideas cangrow and flourish. They have been associatedwith political and ideologicaldebates, as places where people fight tohave new ideas accepted or to hold onto old ideas that are being challenged.But in our modern age, universities aremoving farther and farther away fromthese original ideals and becoming increasinglysynonymous with “gettingahead in life,” focusing on narrow individualgain rather than the generationor defense of ideas. Gladzor exemplifieswhat universities ought to be about:the advancement of culture and higherlearning, and the defense of core valuesand principles. Now that’s something tobe proud of.Armenian Reporter Arts & Culture December 6, 2008C11
