WHAT WILL TELETHON 2006 BE LIKE
Lragir, Armenia
Nov 6 2006
On November 4 NKR President Arkady Ghukasyan left for the United
States for the preparation of the annual telethon in Los Angeles on
November 23.
There is special attention in the upcoming telethon. Not because
the donations will be spent for the reconstruction of the region
of Hadrut. The point is that this year there have been a number of
accusations against Armenia Foundation from Karabakh. And a number
of questions have occurred. First, why the telethons fail to raise
the pledged sum. Second, why the style of work of the foundation has
not changed over these years although it is said to be uneffective.
Moreover, uneffectiveness is connected with the lack of confidence.
Third, will the telethon raise sums if a decision was made during the
Armenia-Diaspora forum to launch a large-scale project in rural areas?
But this is not the complete list of questions. How will the telethon
pass, for this is the first time when the activities of the foundation
and its relation with the Karabakh government get a backlash? Will
the Armenian Diaspora in Russia take part in the telethon? How will
the telethon pass in Europe after the adoption of the law on the
Armenian Genocide by the French parliament?
The telethon will tell much about the all-Armenian relations and
the all-Armenian organizations. Especially that the topic of these
organizations has become a burning issue considering that the terms
of office of the presidents of the both Armenian states are ending.
