Members of Sardarapat initiative Emil Abrahamyan and Tigran Khzmalyan convened Tuesday a news conference to introduce 20th century Armenian scientists' achievements and inventions.
Speaking of American-Armenian scholars, Khzmalyan said a book entitled "American-Armenians' Contribution to the United States" (author: art critic and publicist Stepan Partamyan) had been published in Los Angeles.
"The book comes to reveal once again that Armenians, if left in a free and fair environment, have a great potential to create," he said.
The book, which comprises outstanding inventions by 20th century American-Armenian scientists, also contains the license details of all those inventions (numbers and dates of registration) as registered by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Some of them are listed below:
Gabriel Kazanjyan's hair-dryer, the first sample of Armenian engineering thought, was presented in 1908 and officially registered in 1911.
The practical automatic transmission for car was invented in 1931 by Asatur Sarafyan (Oscar Banker), a great American-Armenian engineer, who settled in the United States after having a narrow escape from the Genocide. His invention (license No. 1.795.464) was put into operation in 1940, being used in Oldsmobile vehicle.
Another Armenian scholar – Arthur Blbulyan – was granted a license (No. 2.348.108) for inventing an oxygen mask for American air forces pilots.
A prominent invention is Alex Manoogian's water faucet which gained a worldwide recognition in 1969.
The Automatic Teller Machine (commonly known as ATM) which forms an inseparable part of modern civilization has been invented by Luther Simijyan. It's noteworthy that Simijyan's coin ATMs and banknote ATMs were granted separate licenses.
Khzmalyan said a presentation of some new inventions will be organized in the near future.
"To the best of our knowledge, world-famous scientist Raymond Damadyan, the author of the magnetic resonance diagnostic method, visited Armenia a few years ago to organize the production of his unique device in our country. Our senior officials, however, made hints to the Diaspora Armenian scientist that he was required to pay a certain amount of money [make a donation, so to say] for the realization of his honest idea. Naturally, he left Armenia, greatly disillusioned and offended," Khzmalyan added.
"The only conclusion to be drawn from here is that our home country can and will have a scientific, educational, economic and social progress in case of involving the potential of all Armenians. But that will not be possible unless Armenia is liberated from the occupationist regime," he added.
