Hayastan All-Armenian Fund provides ongoing support to Syrian-Armenians
Yerevan, January 30, 2014 - The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund continues to
assist the Syrian-Armenian community, with financial contributions made by
various fund affiliates since the beginning of 2014 as well as proceeds from
the fund's 2013 Telethon.
A total of 100,000 euros raised by the French affiliate will benefit various
Syrian-Armenian-relief projects through the Catholicosate of the Great House
of Cilicia. Contributions by the fund's German affiliate, totaling 35,000
euros, have already been transferred to the Syrian-Armenian Emergency and
Rehabilitation Committee.
In addition, of the funds raised through the 2013 Telethon, 15 million
Armenian drams will be allocated for continuing to address the social,
healthcare, and education needs of Syrian-Armenian families currently
residing in Armenia. The assistance will include the defrayal of student
tuitions as well as the costs of surgeries and funerals. Program
beneficiaries are selected by the Ministry of Diaspora.
Reminding that 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 Kilikian School, 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.
