The Hayastan All Armenian Fund is financing the development
of a state-of-the-art website for Artsakh Public Television and
Radio. Through the four-month project, the company will be provided
with two Internet servers and a computer system, while technical and
administrative staff will receive training from E-works in web-content
generation and site management.

The initiative was designed following a technical-needs assessment
earlier this year, conducted by a Hayastan All Armenian Fund work
group.

When the project is completed in June 2009, the site will feature
programs broadcast by Artsakh Public Television and Radio, as well as
breaking news and information about Nagorno Karabakh. The site’s audio
and video clips will also be accessible through Google and YouTube.

"With its support to this vital project, the Hayastan All Armenian
Fund will enable Nagorno Karabakh to have its voice heard across the
world," said Ara Vardanyan, the fund’s acting executive director.

The continued development of Artsakh Public Television and Radio has
been a priority for the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund. In December 2008,
it donated a variety of cutting-edge technical equipment to the Artsakh
Public Television and Radio, significantly enhancing its newsgathering
capabilities and broadcast quality. The project, worth U.S. $100,000,
was sponsored by the Armenia Fund U.S. Western Region.
