On initiative of the Armenian register of Marrow’s donors charitable
fund, NKR Ministries of Health Service, Culture and Youth Affairs, and
by participation of RA and NKR singers, creative groups on January 8th
at garrison’s Officer’s House of Stepanakert "Save our life" a gala
concert-action was organized. As we have informed, on January 8th,
2000 the Armenian register of Marrow’s donors was founded officially
in Armenia and Bella Kocharyan was elected as the honorary chair of
it. And by special decision of RA government this day was declared as
Donors’ day. And it was decided to organize the tenth anniversary of
the Armenian register in Artsakh. In connection with the anniversary
the founder and chairman of the Armenian register of Marrow’s donors,
american-armenian doctor Freeda Jordon, executive director Sevak
Avagyan, deputy director Mihran Nazaretyan, the regulator of the
arrangement’s process and leader of the whole producer works Marietta
Keshishyan visited the NKR. According to S.

Avagyan, the program is handed on a "special plate": it’s a cultural
joint program, and it’s not casual, that the preference of carrying
out the anniversary has been given the NKR. The Armenians of all
over the world in any way help each other, especially the Armenians
of Artsakh, and the latter today stretches its hand in answer by the
conviction that by its blood it will save the life of at least a man.

On January 8th, during the action more than 200 persons were
donated. The day the Speaker of NKR National Assembly A. Ghoulyan,
the primate of Artsakh’s Diocese Pargev archbishop Martirosyan,
representatives of mass-media, departments were also donated to the
Armenian register. According to Pargev Martirosyan, each Armenian
should be its nation’s donor in all senses. To give blood, means to
give a life. During Artsakh war armenian azatamartiks donated their
all blood and life to the country – for freedom and bright future. The
action which is called to save life of many Armenians, is a great and
chaste work. It’s a holiday of rescue and unanimity. The Speaker of
NKR NA A. Ghoulyan, touching importance to the program, has noted,
that if it is spoken about the rescue of a man’s life, so it means,
that we also show duty of honour to Christian worldwide values, which
tell us always to help relatives, a needy man. Ministers of NKR Health
Service and Culture and Youth Affairs, as well as all participants
expressed their appreciation to the action’s all organizers and
supporters. The minister of NKR Health Service A.

Khachatryan handed over a special diploma signed by the Premier Ara
Harutyunyan to the Armenian register of Marrow’s donors charitable
fund in connection with the program being realized in NKR and the
anniversary of the organization. It was given to the founder and
chairman of the register Freeda Jordon and executive director Sevak
Avagyan.
