    Armenia Fund USA Hosts President of Nagorno Karabakh Arkady Goukassian
    and Executive Director of Hayastan All-Armenia Fund Naira Melkoumian
    for a Lecture at ALMA in the Greater Boston Community

    Moving rapidly toward completion of the North-South Highway, Armenia
    Fund is halfway home. Its goal of building the 105 miles of highway
    interconnecting 150 towns and villages in mountainous Karabakh has to
    date raised $12 million towards the $25 million project. With ongoing
    vital support from Armenians in the Diaspora and past proven success
    from having built 49 miles so far, Armenia Fund continues to forge
    ahead. The Fund is gearing up for the final leg, generating support and
    overseeing construction of the remaining 56 miles with the much
    anticipated Thanksgiving Day Telethon.

    To raise awareness and inspire community involvement in the Armenia Fund
    Telethon, the President of Nagorno-Karabakh, Arkady Goukassian,
    accompanied in part by Naira Melkoumian, Executive Director of Hayastan
    All-Armenia Fund, will be in the United States and are scheduled for
    several pre-telethon events. Their initial destination is to the
    greater Boston area - a special engagement will be held at the Armenian
    Library Museum of America on November 13-th at 4:30 pm. The program
    will include an entertaining video presentation by Armenia Fund USA and
    guest speaker, President Goukassian will lecture on Geopolitical
    Challenges and the Need for an Improved Infrastructure in Armenia and
    Karabakh. All are welcome to be involved in this noteworthy event.

    Armenia Fund's annual Telethon for 2004 is stepping up its ambitions in
    a grand way to raise the final $12.5 million needed for the completion
    of the highway, deemed as the backbone of Karabakh. The 12-hour, live
    broadcast airing throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, South
    America, the CIS, and Middle East will feature live entertainment by
    various Armenian performers, interviews with numerous celebrities and
    political leaders, development and construction footage from Armenia and
    Karabakh, and stories of individuals impacted by Armenia Fund projects.
    A phone bank with 50 operators and volunteers will be helping to handle
    the generous outpouring from Armenians world-wide. Broadcast schedules
    and information for your area is available by calling our office. Or,

    Focused on infrastructure and high standards of accountability, Armenia
    Fund USA is a unique organization dedicated to supporting large-scale
    initiatives in both Armenia and Karabakh, helping the developing nations
    sustain themselves for the future. Armenia Fund is non-partisan and
    works closely with the governments of Armenia and Karabakh not only
    building roads, but also schools, medical facilities, utilities and
    humanitarian programs, all along upholding stringent project oversight
    measures with bidding, management and quality control processes.

    Founded in 1992, Armenia Fund USA is a non-profit 501(c)(3) representing
    the support of Armenian diasporans in the Eastern United States and was
    the first of Hayastan All Armenia Fund's 18 international hubs to aid
    the homeland. As the largest contributor toward strategic infrastructure
    projects in Armenia and Karabakh, Armenia Fund has helped build 138
    miles of roads, 81 miles of waterways, 36 schools, 3 electric
    transmission networks, 210 residential buildings and 14 healthcare
    institutions. After completing the Goris-Stepanakert Highway, linking
    Armenia to Karabakh, Armenia Fund set its sights on developing the
    North-South Highway. In the process of all its projects, Armenia Fund
    has ensured sustainability by investing beyond construction, sponsoring
    the necessary equipment and training, as well. This not only eases the
    hardships for the people of Armenia and Karabakh for the current time,
    but more importantly ensures stability for the long term.

    Armenia Fund USA's mission of accountability goes beyond Armenia and is
    built upon a pledge of responsibility to benefactors and recipients
    alike. All contributions are 100% tax deductible. To learn more about
