    HAYASTAN ALL-ARMENIAN FUND BEGINS CONSTRUCTION OF POTABLE-WATER NETWORK IN ARTSAKH'S HADRUT CITY

    Toward the realization of the Telethon 2011 slogan "A gift of water,
    a gift of life," the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund began construction
    of a potable-water network in the city of Hadrut, Artsakh.

    The project is co-sponsored by the fund's U.S. Western Region, with
    a major contribution by benefactors Mr. and Mrs. Gerald and Patricia
    Turpanjian of Los Angeles, and the government of Artsakh.

    "This extensive development initiative was launched in 2008, when the
    Hayastan All-Armenian Fund built the 22-kilometer Arjaghbyur-Hadrut
    potable-water pipeline," said Edik Davtyan, deputy head of the
    Hadrut Regional Administration. "The project will come to completion
    with the currently implemented construction of Hadrut's internal
    water-distribution network, thanks to which the entire population of
    the city will be connected to the potable-water grid."

    Components of the project include the construction of a distribution
    network with a total length of 33 kilometers, a pump station, and two
    reservoirs as well as the renovation of the city's 1970s-built well,
    the daily-regulation reservoirs, and underground springs.

    "We convey our profound gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Turpanjian, whose
    generous gift will enable us to provide the close to 3,200 residents
    of Hadrut with around-the-clock access to drinking water," said Ara
    Aghishian, chairman of the Armenia Fund U.S. Western Region.

    "We also convey our very special thanks to Mr. Albert Boyajian of the
    fund's Board of Trustees, whose efforts were instrumental in making
    the project possible," Aghishian concluded.

    Another significant Artsakh initiative supported by Mr. and Mrs.

    Turpanjian and spearheaded by the Armenia Fund U.S. Western Region
    was the construction of Stepanakert's No. 11 (V. Jhangiryan) School.

    Realized through a major donation by the Turpanjians and the
    co-sponsorship of the government of Artsakh, the U.S. $2.7 million
    campus was the largest ever built by the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund.

    Opening its doors in September 2010, the school featured
    state-of-the-art facilities and distinctive architecture.
