ABOUT 12 THOUSAND SYRIAN-ARMENIANS LIVE IN ARMENIA
August 14, 2014 10:04
People living in Armenia and diaspora always support and extend a
helping hand to the Syrian-Armenians settled in our country. The
Aleppo Compatriotic Charitable Non-Governmental Organization (ACCO),
together with "Diaspo Arts" artists' group from France, as well as a
number of other artists from Armenia and Syria, organizes a charity
exhibition and sale in the Museum of Modern Art. All proceeds from
the "Stop in Yerevan" exhibition will be transferred to the Aleppo
Compatriotic Charitable Non-Governmental Organization to support the
families affected by the Syrian crisis.
The Aleppo Compatriotic Charitable Non-Governmental Organization had
planned that it would last only seven days, but taking into account
the interest of the people, the exhibition will continue until August
22. "This is already the seventh "stop" of "Diaspo Arts", this time
in Yerevan.
104 works of 29 artists are displayed. Works by Armenian, French,
Syrian-Armenian artists are represented. "Aleppo" will use the sales
proceeds for construction of accommodation for the Syrian-Armenians.
We have a housing program, which is under development. The program
supposes construction of accommodation for needy families. Offices
will be on the first floor and residential areas will occupy the
other floors. We will try to keep the Syrian-Armenian families in
Armenia, so that they do not leave the country, and avoid emigration,"
as reports "Artsakhpress" in a conversation with "Armenpress", this
was stated by the member of the Aleppo Compatriotic Charitable Non-
Governmental Organization Youth Committee Hakob Kazanjyan.
