SERZH SARGSYAN APPEALS TO DONATORS AT HAYASTAN ALL-ARMENIAN FUND FUNDRAISING DINNER

Armenia

On October 25, a charity fundraising banquet, held at Moscow
Ararat Park Hyatt Hotel within the frames of "TV Marathon 2009,"
was attended by about 80 Armenian businessmen who reside in Russia,
who were invited by Republic of Armenia President and chair of the
Hayastan All-Armenian Fund Board of Trustees Serzh Sargsyan.

Also attending the fundraising dinner were Board of Trustees members
Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh President Bako Sahakyan and Republic of
Armenia National Assembly Spokesperson Hovik Abrahamyan.

The funds raised will be directed to development projects in the
Nagorno-Karabakh town of Shushi. In his speech addressing attendees,
Sargsyan said:

"…There are perhaps few towns in the world that have had such a
difficult fate as Shushi had. There has been no war in our region
during which our beautiful walled town didn’t suffer. It is enough
to remember that over the past two hundred years Shushi has passed
on from one governing authority to another at least 15 times. It is
ten times more precious for us because of it," Sargsyan said.

The president appealed to attendees to make a generous contribution:
"Whatever we contribute, it will not be more than the blood of those
who participated in Shushi’s liberation. Let’s be deserving of their
sacred deed."

Hayastan All-Armenian Fund will publicize donators’ names and amounts
raised during the charity banquet on November 26, the day of the TV
Marathon, reads a press release issued by the press office of the
Armenian president.
