Hayastan All-Armenian Fund, Syrian Armenians
The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund continues to help alleviate the plight
of Syrian-Armenians by rallying worldwide support. A significant part
of the financial assistance for this purpose has been made possible by
the fund's affiliates across the globe, as well as through designated
donations from several benefactors and organizations.
The fund's French, German, US Western Region, Argentinean, Brazilian,
Lebanese, and Swedish affiliates, in particular, have raised support
for Syrian-Armenians within the framework of Telethon 2012, and
subsequently transferred the donations to a special bank account
established by the fund.
Armenia-based and diaspora benefactors and organizations that have
contributed to the cause include Hirair Hovnanian, Ara Abrahamyan,
Petak LLC, HayRusGasArd CJSC, the Galustanian Raffi Charitable Center,
Judges of the Republic of Armenia, RA NAS Institute of History,
Banants Football Club, Kara-Murza State Musical College of Gyumri,
Turvand LLC, and others.
The fund has used the contributions to implement a range of healthcare,
educational, and social-assistance projects. As of June 2013,
the fund has provided the following amounts in assistance to the
Syrian-Armenian community:
One hundred thousand euros raised by the French affiliate, 12,000
euros from the German affiliate, and US 100,000 dollars from the
Lebanese affiliate have been used essentially to pay the salaries of
teachers at Aleppo's Armenian schools.
Contributions from the Brazilian, Argentinean, and Swedish affiliates
have been used to cover the tuitions of 110 Syrian-Armenian students
attending various colleges and universities in Armenia; to pay
for the heart surgeries of six Syrian-Armenian individuals; and to
cover the cost of funerals for three others. The amount of 10,000
dollars raised by the US Western Region affiliate has been donated
to Yerevan's KilikianSchool, which has opened its doors to children
from Syrian-Armenian refugee families.
As for contributions made by industrialists Hirair Hovnanian and Ara
Abrahamyan, they have been used to pay for refugee flights between
Aleppo and Yerevan.
