    "Hayastan" Fund to Open a Local Committee in Russia

    On June 13, Mrs. Naira Melkoumian, Executive Director of "Hayastan"
    All-Armenian Fund embarked on a week-long visit to Moscow to arrange
    for the establishment of "Hayastan's" local committee in the Russian
    capital. The new committee would allow for effective cooperation with
    the local Armenian community.

    The Executive Director had meetings with Ezras Nersisyan, Diocesan of
    Russian and Nor Nakhijevan Armenians, Armen Smbatyan, Ambassador of
    Armenia in Russia, Ara Abrahamyan, President of the Union of Armenians
    of Russia, Levon Chakhmakhchyan, Vice-President of the
    Russian-Armenian Business Cooperation Association, Modest Kolerov,
    Head of Department on CIS Issues at the Administration of the RF
    President, members of the Club of Armenian Businessmen and others.

    Tentative agreements were reached on the future projects of the new
    committee and many Armenian businessmen expressed their wishes to
    become members of the committee's board. Seiran Baghdasaryan will
    coordinate the initial preparation work of the committee.

    During these meetings, Mrs. Melkoumian commented that the Armenian
    community in Moscow has great potential, but has not been effectively
    leveraged. She expressed hope that the newly created local committee
    would unite efforts of Russian Armenians and help push forward the
    significant projects of the "Hayastan" All-Armenian Fund.
