United Appeal of the Largest Armenian Organizations of the Western United States

ACTING in the spirit of pan-Armenian unity,

CONSIDERING security and prosperity of Armenia and Artsakh as an undisputed priority for the Armenian Diaspora and

RECOGNIZING the remarkable achievements of Armenia Fund (“Hayastan” All-Armenian Fund), an institution, which for the past 21 years has united all major Diaspora-based Armenian organizations around the world under the mission of providing large-scale infrastructure development and humanitarian assistance to the Homeland,

WE, THE UNDERSIGNED

REAFFIRM our unequivocal support to the mission and goals of Armenia Fund and

CALL on each and every Armenian-American to bring his or her generous participation in the upcoming Armenia Fund International Thanksgiving Day Telethon to air live on Thursday, November 28, 2013, dedicated to the construction of a strategic Vardenis-Martakert Highway that has a critical importance to long term security and peace for both Armenia and Artsakh, as well as creation of jobs in agriculture, manufacturing, tourism and trade. As we cannot be indifferent to the plight of our brothers and sisters in Syria, 10% of general Telethon proceeds of Armenia Fund, U.S. Western Region will be allocated to Syrian Armenian humanitarian relief efforts.

It is up to each and every Armenian to ensure the prosperity of our Homeland and security of its borders
