Talk:Benon Sevan

Untitled
He is charged with preventing misuse of money appropriated by OFF, but reportedly permitted abuse to occur and accepted bribes? The first sentence makes no sense and contradicts the second.

He is a graduate of Melkonian, the armenian secondary school in Cyprus. I suppose he is a Cypriot ethnic armenian but I'd rather not put this in the article until it is verified.Mavros

Benon Sevan is a board member of the Armenian General Benevolent Union. He is show as an active board member on the AGBU website as of July 11, 2005.

The AGBU website has quoted Mr Sevan as follows: "I had no choice but to be Armenian. I was born to Armenian parents and I grew up in a country where even if I said I was a Turk or a Greek, I wouldn’t be accepted as either. I joined the UN by accident -- I actually wanted to teach philosophy. I got caught up with the turmoil in Cyprus during the fifties and one thing led to another and it's been a wonderful career. I've done political, economic, social and administrative jobs and it has been a fulfilling and enjoyable experience." 

For reference, Sevan is also an idiomatic Armenian name, being the name of a lake in Armenia Lake_Sevan, and an monastery dated 874 AD Sevanavank.

Extradition
It would appear the US does have an extradition treaty with Cyprus: List of United States extradition treaties. Biruitorul 22:18, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Wounded in Canal Hotel Bombing
"In August, 2003, he was wounded in the Canal Hotel Bombing" This is almost certainly untrue and should be substantiated or deleted. Bk Read  Talk 18:29, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
