    Hayastan All Armenian Fund seeks better ties with the Armenian community in
    Iran

    Yerevan, February 9, 2009 - During his two-day working visit to the Islamic
    Republic of Iran, Hayastan All Armenian Fund Acting Executive Director Ara
    Vardanyan accompanied by Advisor to the Fund's Executive Director Hrach
    Hovhannisyan met with the Armenian Ambassador to Iran H.E. Karen Nazaryan,
    Primate of the Armenian diocese of Tehran Archbishop Sepuh Sargsian,
    Chairman of the Armenian Council of Tehran Aida Avanesian, as well as with
    all other members of the Council, senior management of the Ararat Sport
    Center in Tehran and the daily newspaper Alik.

    Agreement on principles about the ways in which Himnadram can establish a
    permanent and more active presence in the Iranian Armenian community were
    discussed and understandings were reached; but it was also agreed that as
    there are three Armenian Councils in Iran, the matter needs to be further
    discussed and coordinated with all Councils, so that a unified approach can
    be adopted. During his next trip to Iran Mr. Vardanyan plans to visit the
    Armenian communities of Tabriz and Isfahan.

    "It is no surprise that my first official visit was to Iran. The Fund
    management has been seeking better ties and cooperation with the Armenian
    community in Iran which has been involved and greatly contributed to the
    Fund's activities in the course of its existence. The best recent example of
    their involvement in the Fund's activities is the lighting systems and water
    main built in Shvanizor, Alvank and Nrnadzor villages. Engaging the Armenian
    community in Iran in the already extensive affiliate network of the Fund
    will enable to make a better use of our common resources," says Ara
    Vardanyan.
