Armenia Fund’s ‘Fruitful Artsakh’ telethon raises more than $12.5 million which is most welcome however its worth noting that over $10 billion of hot money has been taken out of Armenia in the last ten years and deposited in offshore accounts by regime officials and their oligarchs.Note the huge difference between people donating their hard earned and legitimate $ and the corrupt officials who have amassed huge wealth at the expense of Armenian nation and its national security and have turned Armenia into their milking cow fiefdom by stealing daily from the country.
Is this the sickening and criminal behaviour that we should be clapping and be proud of?
Although every dollar helps out to aid Armenia & Artsakh, I was disappointed in this years lower donation than past years. I think more advertising should be done to help our Armenian people.
dear stephen, we are tired of helping, why is it that the european and western diaspora are the biggest contributors by NUMBER and a few select oligarchs contribute from Russia and Armenia. The biggest pig is Robert Kocharian who siphoned 6 billion dollars to offshore accounts and his son parks his yacht in montenegro next to Roman Abramovich….could he not contribute? Definitely not. But in any case at least the fund is still going and it is best to help armenia and artsakh by directly investing rather giving any handouts.
