Armenia Fund’s 9th Annual Telethon Set to Air Internationally
Nationwide Broadcast in All Armenian Communities
Los Angeles, CA – Armenia Fund United States Western Region is pleased
to announce the domestic and international broadcast coverage lineup of
its upcoming 9th Annual International Telethon. The telethon will be
aired on Thanksgiving Day, November 23, 2006 in all Armenian communities
around the United States and the world.
As part of the Rebirth of Artsakh project, proceeds from the live 12
hour program will benefit the regional development of Hadrut, Nagorno
Karabakh. The funds will go towards building new drinking water
pipelines as well as reconstructing healthcare facilities and schools
that fell victim to the war and years of neglect. In an effort to
eradicate poverty in this war ravaged border region, Armenia Fund will
also implement a comprehensive agricultural development project to
impact 1,000 farmers in 8 Hadrut villages. A similar regional
development program is currently underway in the northern Martakert
region using the funds raised during last year’s Telethon 2005.
His Excellency Arkady Ghoukasian, President of the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic and Mrs. Naira Melkoumian Chief Executive Officer of Armenia
Fund International will be present during the telethon. The live program
is set to air internationally from Glendale Studios, California. Below
is the listing of the domestic broadcast stations in the United States
and their times in respective local time zones.
H1-Armenian Public Television will also air the live program in Armenia,
as well as on satellite in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the United
States. Viewers with a Globecast World TV satellite may tune in to
H1-Armenian Public Television and view the live 12 hour program. In
addition, Horizon Armenian Television, the largest Diaspora based
Armenian cable and satellite network outside of Armenia will air the
telethon on its channel as well. Viewers in North America may watch the
Telethon on Horizon’s satellite channels. The Telethon will also be
