Archbishop Barkev Martirosyan on the People of Artsakh and Armenia
Fund's Impact on their Daily Lives
HOLLYWOOD-In an exclusive Horizon TV interview, Archbishop Barkev
Martirosyan, the Prelate of the Diocese of Artsakh, speaks to Manouk
Seraydarian about faith, hope and survival in the Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic and the transformative impact of Armenia Fund's programs
in Artsakh.
The Archbishop visited Horizon late last week while in Glendale,
California for the 13th annual Armenia Fund Telethon scheduled
to air live on Thanksgiving Thursday. More information about the
telethon here.
Archbishop Martirosyan has traveled to California year after year
to participate in the event, appearing on TV to appeal to Armenians
around the world to support the development of the Republics of Armenia
and Nagorno-Karabakh.This Thanksgiving he will once again take to the
airwaves during the telethon, this time to raise awareness of the fact
that more than 70,000 people in Artsakh are deprived of clean water.
During his interview on Horizon, Archbishop Martirosyan spoke of
Armenia Fund's role in Nagorno-Karabakh and its positive impact on
the people of the land. But he also discussed many of the problems
still facing the nascent republic.
He described the 21st century as an era of victory for the Armenian
people. But that the victory, he noted, is incomplete when the
average villager in Artsakh, who fought to liberate his homeland,
lacks access to life's most basic necessity.
He said that while the Armenian people are proud of their victory in
Karabakh, its villagers, who live on the land, still suffer serious
problems and lack the infrastructure to develop their land.
Archbishop Martirosian is an inspirational figure in Artsakh,
most well known for giving religious and moral guidance to Armenian
soldiers during the war of liberation. After the war, he took to the
TV during annual telethons to help raise money for the redevelopment of
war-torn areas in Artsakh. In the late 90s, he passionately called upon
Armenians to unite and finance the building of the vital North-South
Highway connecting Armenia and Karabakh.
