`Hayastan' fund tries to enlarge involvedness of Armenian community of
Russia in its activity
YEREVAN, MARCH 12, ARMENPRESS: Works are being carried out in the
direction of enlarging the involvedness of the Armenian community of
Russia in the activity of `Hayastan' fund.
Executive Director of the fund Ara Vardanyan told Armenpress that
there are well-off Armenians in Russia, which are ready and want to
participate in all the charitable initiatives in Armenia. According to
him, the only issue is that the community of Russia is not unified.
`In Russia there is not unification like in Armenian communities of
other countries. That is, if it is possible to convey some message in
other communities through one meeting, in Russia it is impossible.
There are thousands of organizations, which have no connection with
each other; there is not a single place where you can deliver a speech
and that all hear about it,' Mr. Vardanyan said. Taking all this into
consideration, the work in Russia is more complicated and time
consuming. He expressed confidence that within years people will
manage to achieve that Russia becomes leader in regard to quantity.
The executive director of the fund reminded that in regard to
donations to the fund, Russia is in the first place. After a
charitable banquet organized last year in Russia, money of 10 million
was gathered, while the rest 10 million is from the countries of the
world, including Armenia. `It is not the money that is important for
us, but the quantity of people,' Mr. Vardanyan said.
