On July 13, the ARS Eastern USA board of directors issued the following statement on the unfolding crisis in Aleppo and how the Armenian American community can help.
An estimated 60,000 Armenians in Aleppo, Syria are affected by the ongoing conflict in Syria. Thousands of Armenian families are facing dismal food shortages as food prices have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels.




I take my hat off to the founders for their vision, for their hard work in preparing a place where generation to follow will enjoy, get educated, and meet. Thank you to the committee of “Camp Haiastan Founders’ Project” this was a great idea to publicly say “Thank You Our Invisible Heroes for a job well done, thank you for your time and unselfishness, thank you for doing all these without thinking or asking for recognition!” This was long due, I wish all our organization take their cue from you guys and remember to thank our volunteers in a way or other. I am sure our new generation will carry the torch and do the good and the right things for our nation. God Bless you all.
