After the 1988 destructive earthquake the Fund for Armenian Relief
(FAR) was founded under the patronage of the Armenian Apostolic
Church's East Diocese of America.
FAR in virtue of its American well-known benefactors and patriots
has realized about 260 different benevolent, humanitarian aid and
development projects in Armenia since then spending 265 M dollars.
On June 29 FAR Director's Council and the Head of East Diocese in
USA, Archbishop Khajak Parsamian had their first meeting in the newly
repaired FAR office.
The building was named by FAR Superior in honor Gevorg Hovnanian and
his spouse Sirvard Hovnanian.
FAR Executive Director Garnik Nanagulian, member of Director's
Council Nshan Atinizian, Head of the Armenian branch Bagrat Sargsian
and FAR Press Secretary Levon Lachikian made their speeches in FAR
press conference.
RA Prime Minister Serj Sargsian received the guests and spoke with
gratification about the accomplished works of FAR. He gave an advice
to carry out FAR projects in the provinces of Armenia, as Yerevan is
over saturated with various projects.
The delegation was also received by RA Foreign Minister Vardan
Oskanian and an agreement was reached between them to carry out a
complete development project of a village in the circle of the project
"Development of 50 villages".
The delegation, headed by Archbishop Khajak Parsamian had meetings
with RA President Robert Kocharian and representatives of different
spheres, where they had discussions on future development projects.
Catholicos of All Armenians His Holiness Garegin II guided the guests
to the Holy Mother Cathedral of Ejmiatsin and gave his blessings
to them.
