    The Syrian-Armenian Relief Coordination Center held on Friday its
    presentation ceremony at the Arno Babajanyan concert hall.


    According to a press release by the Ministry of Diaspora, the NGO was
    launched on October 15 upon the initiative of several Syrian-Armenian
    staunch activists.

    The event was attended by Armenia's First Lady Rita Sargsyan,
    representatives of international and pan-Armenian organizations,
    different-officials, as well as Syrian-Armenians.

    Minister Hranush Hakobyan delivered an opening speech, extending her
    warm greetings to the Syrian-Armenians who have resettled in their
    historical homeland.

    `It is due to the political will and posture of Armenian president
    Serzh Sargsyan that all the government bodies in Armenia are now
    obliged and ready to resolve the questions and problems you raise in
    order to make you feel at home in your motherland. Our compatriots in
    Syria are in panic today. The Armenians around the world and the
    Armenian statehood stand by our compatriots residing in Armenia and
    Syria. We will do all out best to relieve your burden,' Hakobyan said.


    The minister expressed her gratitude to the Armenian Revolutionary
    Federation-Dashnaksutyun (which has launched the assistance program
    Help your Brother) the Armenian General Benevolent Union, the Armenian
    General Union of Body Culture and all the other organizations
    assisting the Syrian-Armenians. The new organization's leaders - Lena
    Halajyan, Vazgen Hakobyan and Norayr Piliposyan - were invited on
    stage.

    Students of the Cilician College, Syrian-Armenian young musicians, the
    Komitas String Quartet of Aleppo and the merited Armenian singer,
    Noune Yesayan, performed for the participants.

    The participants also had a chance to watch an exposition by
    Syrian-Armenian photographers.

    Armenia's leading mobile operator, VivaCell MTS has greatly assisted
    the organization, by donating necessary supplies and computer
    equipment.

    Hayrusgazart company has also expressed willingness to provide
    material assistance.
