Meeting with Armenians from France
On June 5, Naira Melkoumian, Executive Director of the `Hayastan'
All-Armenian Fund had a meeting with French Armenians at the Fund's
Executive Board. Mrs. Melkoumian presented the `Rebirth of Artsakh'
project launched in Mardakert, NKR. She presented all the projects of
that large-scale initiative, which include reconstruction of 30 km long
water-main and drinking water systems, construction of four or five
schools in the rural communities, provision of agricultural equipment.
She underscored importance of the agricultural development projects and
mentioned that similar projects will be implemented also in the rural
communities of Armenia, since there is a marked difference in
development progress between the capital and villages of the country.
There is an urgent need for improvement of living conditions in the
regions. According to her, equal social and economic development of all
the regions will substantially decrease the migration from the villages
to Yerevan.
Speaking about the activities of the 19 affiliates Mrs. Melkoumian
appreciated the effective work of the French local committee. She
mentioned that the ardent patriotism and willingness of French Armenians
to make donations is the major factor in that success.
The guests were deeply interested in promotion and organizational issues
of the upcoming fundraising events.
Concluding the 2005 Telethon results Mrs. Melkoumian appreciated the
active national participation, as well as the great interest the young
people showed towards the event. The guests discussed also how to bring
the Diaspora youth closer to their national roots and to make their
visits to the homeland more frequent.
