Armenian Telethon
GLENDALE
Armenia Fund Inc. is holding its annual Thanksgiving telethon, “Make
It Happen,” today to raise funds to complete the remaining 56 miles
of the North-South “Backbone” Highway in Karabakh, Armenia. Once
completed, the $25 million, 105-mile highway will link 150 towns and
villages and provide economic, trade and development opportunities.
Proceeds will also benefit continued assistance in the areas of
health care, education and infrastructure development in the Republic
of Armenia. The 12-hour event is being televised live from Glendale
throughout the United States, South America, the Middle East, Canada
and Armenia.
