YEREVAN, JANUARY 25, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The Diocese of
the Armenian Church of Canada has appealed to all Canadian Armenians
to make their donations for Haiti’s earthquake on January 12. The
death toll is well over 100,000.
The Congress of Canadian Armenians has conveyed its condolences to the
people of Haiti and has supported the initiative of the Diocese. It’s
noted that the aid needed for survivors and without the support of
the international community Haiti can’t recover.
"Perhaps Armenians know the pain of a powerful earthquake. When more
than 20,000 people died and hundreds of thousands of people were
affected by the earthquake that hit Armenia on December 7, 1988. At
that moment the international community offered immediately its aid.
It is now our turn to extend the same helping hand to the people of
Haiti",- think members of Armenian community of Canada.
