Yerevan /Mediamax/. Aleppo Compatriotic Charitable Non-Governmental
Organization (ACCO) has raised AMD 1,437,000 to support Kessab
Armenians.
Representatives of the organization have summed up fundraising results
today, Mediamax reports. Besides money transfers, citizens have also
donated USD 118 and RUB 10 to help Kessab Armenians.
Syrian Armenians residing in Armenia, Armenian young people and
students took part in the fundraising launched a week ago. The students
and academic staff of the Armenian-Russian (Slavonic) University also
joined the fundraising.
70% of the total money will be transferred to Kessab Armenians who
have found refuge in Latakia, and the 30% will be used for the needs
of Kessab Armenians that have moved to Armenia.
"Two Kessab Armenian families have already moved to Armenia. We were
informed that several more families currently residing in Latakia will
move to Armenia in the near future", said ACCO member Sargis Balekhyan.
According to him, the ultimate goal of fundraising organizers was
not to render money support to Kessab Armenians but rather to raise
the level of awareness and national consciousness of Armenians on
Kessab events.
Mediamax recalls that "Hayastan" All Armenian Fund has opened a common
account to render financial support to Kessab Armenians. As of April
9, USD 63,069 has been transferred to the accounts opened in order
to help Kessab Armenians; the entire sum has been transferred to the
Embassy of Armenia in Syria.
