One more building was restored in Shushi; the youth center of the
Armenian Apostolic Church was set up thanks to the American benefactor
Jack Mazmanian. Tennis and billiard tables have been placed in the
large light rooms. Young people of Shushi can spend their leisure
there and use the computers of the center.
Mr. Mazmanian and his wife arrived for the ceremony of
opening. Archbishop Pargev Martirosyan, the primate of the Artsakh
Diocese, thanked the benefactors and the coordinator of the AGBU
Artsakh programs Sasun Baghdasaryan who contributed to the program.
The American benefactor said the program would not be carried out
without Sasun Baghdasaryan.
According to Mr. Baghdasaryan, the idea to set up a center occurred
to him when his wife arrived in Shushi with a group of tourists and
found out that the young people have no place to spend their leisure.
It is not the first program of Jack Mazmanian in Artsakh. 30 families
of killed azatamartiks get an annual financial aid until their children
come of age. Children suffering with cleft palate got medical aid. 45
children of Armenia and Karabakh have undergone surgery.
Jack Mazmanian who is a member of Hayrenik Union assesses the
relations of Artsakh and the Diaspora as positive but he thinks
that misappropriation has damaged confidence in the Diaspora. If
there were not for misappropriation, aid would be ten times more,
he says. He notes that the members of our organization and he often
arrive in Artsakh to make sure that their aid gets the addressee. Jack
Mazmanian says this year they will send 130 computers for the region
of Kashatagh and visit next year to make sure they are used, Jack
Mazmanian said in an interview with Karabakh-Open.com.
