    Armenia Fund USA Announces Operation Blessing International's Donation
    of $569,000 of Medicines
    United Armenian Fund Makes their Safe Arrival and Distribution Possible
    for Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh

    NEW YORK, New York - Armenia Fund USA is pleased to announce the generous
    donation of medicines valued at $569,000 for medical centers and healthcare
    providers in the Republics of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. The humanitarian
    aid provided by Operation Blessing International of Virginia Beach, VA
    includes much-needed, high quality medicines- including antibiotics- which
    are often unavailable and cost-prohibitive to obtain. Founded in 1978,
    Operation Blessing International is a non-profit relief and development
    organization dedicated to bringing hope to millions through hunger relief,
    medical care, outreach programs, and disaster relief. 

    Armenia Fund USA's partnership with Operation Blessing International spreads
    a powerful message of caring and humanitarian relief and make it possible to
    reach those in need.

    Additionally, Armenia Fund USA is indebted to United Armenian Fund (UAF).
    For the third time in recent months, UAF made it possible to ship free of
    charge items critically needed for the well-being and survival of the
    Armenian people in the homelands. This time the shipment, which weighs more
    than 6,000 pounds, is destined for polyclinics and medical centers
    throughout Armenia and Karabakh. United Armenian Fund, through its
    humanitarian services and strong relationship with the governments of both
    republics, was vital to securing both the clearance of the medications by
    the Ministries of Health of both Armenia and the NKR and, ultimately, their
    transport from Operation Blessing International's warehouses in Virginia to
    Yerevan, Armenia through UAF's 137th humanitarian airlift scheduled to
    arrive in mid-March.

    The Ministries of Health of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh have each expressed
    their appreciation to Armenia Fund USA, Operation Blessing International and
    the United Armenian Fund for making this humanitarian relief available. A
    great support to both republics striving to improve their healthcare
    systems, the medications will be available to medical facilities like
    Armenia Fund USA's newly-constructed Armine
    Pagoumian Polyclinic and Diagnostic Center in Stepanakert, Nagorno-Karabakh.
    Located in the region's capital and replacing the previous Soviet-era clinic
    that was seriously damaged during the Armenian-Azeri conflict, it is the
    first and only full care outpatient medical center in the Republic of
    Nagorno-Karabakh.
