Hayastan All Armenian Fund Acting Executive Director Ara Vardanyan Visits
Islamic Republic of Iran
Yerevan, February 3, 2009 – Hayastan Fund Acting Executive Director Ara
Vardanyan left for the Islamic Republic of Iran with a two-day working
visit. The purpose of the visit is to discuss possibilities of establishing
a Fund local committee in Iran. The trip was organized with the support of
the Armenian Embassy in Iran, as well as Chairman of the Armenian Council of
Tehran Aida Avanesyan.
Meetings are scheduled with the Armenian Ambassador to Iran Karen Nazaryan,
primate of the Armenian diocese of Tehran Archbishop Sepuh Sargsian,
management of the Ararat Sport Center in Tehran, and representatives of the
Armenian cultural NGOs in Iran.
Ara Vardanyan believes that foundation of a local committee in Iran will
make the already established rapport between the Fund and the Armenian
community in Iran even more efficient.
There are around 100,000 Armenians living in Iran currently. Thanks to their
sponsorship a number of projects were implemented in Shvanizor, Alvank and
Nrnadzor villages of Megry region, Armenia.
