AMERICANS FOR ARTSAKH OPENS ITS LIAISON OFFICE IN STEPANAKERT, NAGORNO KARABAKH
Washington, DC - Stepanakert office of the Americans For Artsakh (AFA)
organization has begun its operations in Nagorno Karabakh Republic,
Artsakh.
AFA application for registration in Nagorno Karabakh followed a July
2004 resolution of the AFA Board of Directors to open a representation
in Artsakh. By another Board decision, Elvina Azarian was appointed
director of the AFA Liaison Office in Artsakh. A native of Stepanakert,
Elvina volunteered her time and skills to advance AFA's innovative
projects in Artsakh.
Working in close cooperation with both the NKR government and the
public, the AFA Liaison Office in Artsakh will be responsible for
project implementation, regular updates on humanitarian and development
needs of Artsakh, and on-site support for visiting members.
In separate meetings with AFA President Zaven Khanjian and Executive
Director Hrant Jamgochian, NKR President Arkady Ghoukasian voiced his
strong support for the AFA objectives and pledged close cooperation.
In May 2004, AFA sponsored two seismologists from Nagorno Karabakh to
participate in the "2004 Disaster Resistant California" international
conference in Sacramento, CA. Since last year, Liaison Office director
Azarian has represented AFA in the CIMAP - a local committee tasked
with implementation of medical assistance projects for Artsakh's
children and veterans.
This month AFA launched a first-ever food market study in Artsakh. AFA
Board of Directors is currently reviewing a number of innovative
projects in democracy development and education for their possible
implementation.
Americans For Artsakh is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization
established to preserve freedom, strengthen democracy, foster economic
development, protect the cultural identity and promote the heritage
of the people of Artsakh. The founding Board of Directors include:
Zaven Khanjian, President; Dr. Hratch Abrahamian, Vice President; Savey
Tufenkian, Treasurer; Rita Balian, Secretary; and Edward Chobanian.
