Pan-Armenian fund "Armenia" concluded the results of the annual
telethon. This year the sum gathered was larger than that of last
year – 35 million AMD, instead of 27.

On November 15-17 the workers of the fund phoned a number of large,
medium and small enterprises in Armenia and asked to make their
contribution to the development of the Hadrut region. 29 million AMD
has already been transferred to the bank account of the fund. After
the November 23 "TV marathon – 2006" the donations will serve the
realization of the program dedicated to the development of the NKR
Hadrut region.

In comparison to the results of last year, the sums gathered during
the European telethons have grown too.

The telethon was held on November 16-19 in France, Belgium, the
Netherlands, Switzerland, and Germany.

This year more than 13 thousand families and organizations have
participated in the action with a result of 1 million 100 thousand
Euros, in comparison with last year’s 11 thousand and 976 million
respectively.

The telethon in Argentina gathered 40 thousand USD.
