    Hayastan All-Armenian Fund continues to support Syrian-Armenian community

    Hayastan All-Armenian Fund continues to provide vital assistance to
    the Syrian-Armenian community, which has suffered considerable losses
    since the start of the Syrian civil war.

    The fund launched its aid program for Syrian-Armenians in August 2012,
    by establishing special bank accounts through which donors worldwide
    can make contributions in support of the struggling community. The
    accounts were opened on the recommendation of Armenian president Serzh
    Sargsyan, who also serves as the president of the Hayastan
    All-Armenian Fund Board of Trustees.

    To date, with donations made through these bank accounts, the fund has
    underwritten the Aleppo-Yerevan-Aleppo air travels of Syrian-Armenians
    who seek refuge in Armenia, and carried out much needed medical and
    educational projects. Through the latter two types of initiatives,
    which were proposed by Armenia's Ministry of Diaspora, the fund has
    sponsored emergency surgeries for two Syrian-Armenians, and continues
    to cover the annual tuitions of 69 Syrian-Armenian students who
    currently attend various colleges and universities in the homeland.

    The following is the list of these institutions and their respective
    numbers of Syrian-Armenian students with scholarships from the
    Hayastan All-Armenian Fund:

    State Engineering University of Armenia - 11 students
    Yerevan State University - 16 students
    Mkhitar Heratsi Yerevan State Medical University - nine students
