There have been 17 publications in refereed journals, including most important international ones (ApJ, A&A, MNRAS), 3 electronic catalogs in VizieR, 2 books (Proceedings of meetings held in Byurakan), and 40 papers in Proceedings of meetings, including 18 in the Proceedings of Byurakan-Abastumani Colloquium “Instability and Evolution of Stars” held in 2013 and 19 in the Proceedings of the meeting “Relation of Astronomy to other Sciences, Culture and Society” held in 2014. There were 40 missions for research and participation in meetings and schools. Probably the most important event was the establishment in Armenia of the IAU South West Asian Regional Office of Astronomy for Development (SWA ROAD). The Inauguration Ceremony was held on Oct 13, and an attached Workshop was organized with participation of representatives from IAU and IAU OAD Officers and regional countries (Armenia, Georgia, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Russia and Turkey). The Office will operate until 2021 with further extension plans to 2030. A project of Digitization and Scientific Usage of BAO Plate Archive was conducted in April 2015. It is aimed at at compilation, accounting, digitization of BAO observational archive photographic plates and films, as well as their incorporation in databases with modern standards and methods, providing access for all observational material and development of new scientific programs based on this material.

In December 1997, the Third Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP3) was held in Kyoto. At the conference, the "Kyoto Protocol" was adopted in order to prevent global warming caused by greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide. It commits developed countries to reduce their average emissions of greenhouse gases by at least 5% "in the period 2008 - 15" from the 1990 level. Japan set its target of reduction at 6%. The Kyoto Protocol also provides measures to give flexibility in attaining the goals: "Joint Implementation (JI)" and "Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)." In JI, greenhouse gas reductions are shared among developed countries through implementation of specific international projects.

  • Father Alexander Men
    Father Alexander Men ANDREI DUBROV Father Alexander Men is well known in'Moscow, but not in the West. He is still young, not yet 40. After studying at a forestry institute in Siberia, he realized that a profession as a graduate in forestry was not for him. He was a believer, a man of great faith - and had been so since childhood. He was brought up in a believing family and his uncle was a priest. The call to the priesthood came to him when he realized that mis­ sionary work in the Soviet Union was his unquestionable duty. So he entered the seminary at Zagorsk. He excelled in his studies and ~radua­ ted in the early 1960s. After ordination he was sent to serve in the village of Tarasovka, 40 kilometres from Moscow, on the way to Zagorsk. All his parishioners quickly came to love the young priest for his kindness, his gentleness and his desire to help people in all he did and said. He had the ability to strike up a relationship with everyone. He is one of the most erudite people in Moscow, but he never parades it; with simple people he talks about things which are close to their hearts and which they under­ stand - a rare quality among modern Russian intellectuals. Gradually Father Alexander became known in Moscow itself. People started coming to his services from there. He is particularly loved by young people, by the new generation of young Russians, who continue to seek the truth as they did in the past. Many have seen through the com­ munist ideology.

Born four months after the Bolshevik Revolution, he lived through the civil war period, the Stalin purges of the 30s, four years' war service from Stalingrad to Berlin as a Red Army infantryman, arrest and imprisonment during the persecutions of Stalin's last years, and the three decades of varying degrees of state oppression and intimidation which followed, less extreme than Stalin's but still fearsome for its victims. Pomerants' writings blend scholarship with the testi mony of an individual soul on its journey through that dramatic historical and social landscape. Two themes in his work are the conquest of fear, and the freedom of the individual conscience. His weapons in achieving that conquest and that freedom have been inner contempla tion, and the gift of expressing and communicating his reflections.
