Armenian benefactor Hakob Baghdasaryan, member of the board of
trustees of the Armenian Educational Foundation, and Stepan Nalbandyan,
the chief executive of the Armenian office of the AEF, are visiting
Stepanakert. They arrived to take part in the opening of the college
in Martuni after reconstruction, funded by the foundation. The AEF
is planning to buy furniture for 16 schools in six NKR regions in
the nearest future.

Hakob Abulakyan, businessman from Australia, shareholder of the Nairi
Hotel in Stepanakert, is also visiting Karabakh on these days.

During his meeting with President Arkady Ghukasyan he delivered the
invitation of the Armenian Chamber of Trade of Sidney to the Armenian
government to visit Australia and discuss cooperation with the local
Armenian community.

Diasporan benefactors have built and reconstructed schools, public
buildings, infrastructures in hundreds of villages in Karabakh. The
benefactors contributed to almost every village in Armenia.

However, the public is not aware of the statistics. There is not
a government agency or a website, where facts on the activities of
Armenian benefactors would be available. On the same website every
benefactor would be able to read their own name and assess.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
