Today the annual phonethon of pan-Armenian fund "Armenia" was
launched. The workers of the fund will phone about 1300 small,
medium and large companies in Armenia until November 17 and call
on them to have their donation to the program "Revival of Artsakh"
initiated by the fund. This year the gathered money will be used for
the realization of the second phase of the program – the development
of the Hadrout region of Artsakh.

On the eve of the telethon the Fund already gets donations from
individuals, organizations, banks, educational institutions and other
structures. The residents of not only the capital but also the regions
make donations.

Tomorrow the telethon will start in France. The main telethon which
will be broadcast live for all the Armenians throughout the world
will take place on November 23 in Los Angeles.
