    Andre Set to Perform Live During Armenia Fund's Telethon 2006

    Los Angeles, CA - Armenia Fund is proud to announce that one of the most
    popular Armenian singers, Andre, will be performing at its 9th Annual
    International Telethon to be aired worldwide on Thanksgiving Day, November
    23, 8:00AM-8:00PM PST.

    In May of this year Andre won 8th place in Greece for representing Armenia
    at Eurovision song contest competing against contenders from 23 other
    nations. Armenia was competing at the Eurovision song content for the first
    time in 2006.

    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
    devastating war. 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.

    A graduate of Armenian State Music Theater, Andre was born in Stepanakert,
    Nagorno Karabakh. His music career started early, when, as a member of a
    music band "Children of Artsakh" he performed for the NKR Defense Army
    soldiers. After winning the "Road to Renaissance" music competition he
    formed his own pop-jazz band "Karabakh" touring regions of Armenia and
    Nagorno Karabakh. A winner of many international music contests as a solo
    artist, Andre has performed in the United States, Russia, China, Europe,
    Lebanon, Iran, United Arab Emirates and countries of the former Soviet
    Union.

    A winner in the Best Singer category of Armenian National Music Awards,
    Andre has been topping the charts for several years in a row.
