On April 20, Yerevan hosted a meeting between Hayastan All Armenian
Fund chairman and Yerevan State Linguistic University (YSLU) students.
Ara Vardanyan presented foundation activities, also seeking to dispel
inaccurate impressions.
"During hard times, when our compatriots could not afford donating
to charity projects, Diaspora would contribute funding. Currently,
however, the situation is completely different.
We implement equal number of projects both in Armenia and Artsakh,
promoting hospital construction in Syunik, Tavush and other Armenian
regions.
As of today, our main tasks are: Armenian Genocide recognition
and de jure recognition of Artsakh status. Artsakh has to become
an independent and developed republic, perhaps even more so than
Armenia is. Our attention as well as that of international community
to Artsakh issue is currently crucial," Hayastan All Armenian Fund
chairman concluded.
