YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 21, ARMENPRESS: The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund
continues to help Syrian-Armenian community with funds raised through
Telethon 2012.
As Hayastan All-Armenian Fund told Armenpress, recently the fund
provided US $100,000 (raised through the Radiothon of Lebanon), and
50,000 euros (raised through the Pan-European Phoneathon) to pay the
salaries of Armenian-school teachers in Aleppo. In the next three
months the Fund will contribute an additional US $200,000 to various
Syrian-Armenian-relief projects, through the Catholicosate of the Great
House of Cilicia. The amount will be disbursed in two installments.
In the meantime, the fund continues to pay the annual tuition of
Syrian-Armenian students who currently attend various colleges and
universities in Armenia. In recent months, the Fund has underwritten
the education of 69 such students, providing close to 17.2 million
drams and coordinating the project with Armenia's Ministry of Diaspora
and institutions of higher education. The Fund will allocate around
11 million drams in additional contributions to sustain the project.
