    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ On May 31, a major concert celebrating the 15th
    anniversary of the Hayastan All Armenian Fund's German affiliate
    was held at the Haus Burgpark hall in Hurth, near Cologne,
    Germany. Featuring the Navasart Ensemble, a critically acclaimed
    French-Armenian folk-dance troupe based in Paris, the charity event
    was attended by an audience of 800, Hayastan All Armenian Fund said
    in a press release.

    Proceeds from the concert - which was sponsored by the fund's German
    and Swiss affiliates as well as Association of Armenian Business-Man
    (Germany), and Armenian Medical Association of Germany - will benefit
    the reconstruction of the Noyemberyan Regional Hospital, in Armenia's
    Tavush Region.

    The Navasart Ensemble's performances were preceded by the screening of
    a documentary film on the history and accomplishments of the fund's
    German affiliate. In his opening remarks, Gilbert Momdjian, chair of
    the affiliate, stated that the Hayastan All Armenian Fund continues
    to function as a bastion of worldwide Armenian unity and collaboration.

    The concert's honorary guests included Avedis Kizirian and Noebar
    Sepojan Sipaan, chairs of the Hayastan All Armenian Fund's Switzerland
    and Netherlands affiliates, respectively; German-Jewish journalist
    and film director Ralph Giordano, who has championed international
    efforts to recognize the Genocide of the Armenians; as well as German
    elected officials and representatives of various organizations.

    Renowned across Europe for its dazzling productions and high level
    of artistry, the Navasart Ensemble is led by conductor and artistic
    director Eddy Djololian. Throughout their performances in Hurth,
    the troupe's 60 musicians and dancers received waves of applause and
    several standing ovations.

    "It is wonderful that charity concerts such as this help support new
    development projects such as the reconstruction of the Noyemberyan
    Regional Hospital," said Ara Vardanyan, executive director of the
    Hayastan All Armenian Fund.
