Ահա եղբայր քեզ մի դրոշ,
Որ իմ ձեռքով գործեցի
Գիշերները ես քուն չեղա,
Արտասուքով լվացի։
Նայիր նրան՝ երեք գույնով,
Նվիրական մեր նշան
Թող փողփողի թշնամու դեմ
Թող միշտ պանծա Հայաստան։
Ամենայն տեղ մահը մի է
Մարդ մի անգամ պիտ մեռնի,
Բայց երանի՝ որ յուր ազգի

… and not just yearly on April 24th,
remembering

day

of

the

Armenian

Genocide, but each and every day, if you
believe you can make the change for your
people as a savior! Today, our country has
the ability to offer 1’000’000 USD to
Luxembourg, one of the world’s richest
country, to enable three of their charity
funds to go on with their beautiful charity
actions throughout the world! How proud
we are that Armenia and its great people
are able to help the world. But, this being
said, our precious country still has so
much to cope with: Many of our children

However, my team would not let me go
home to Luxembourg without showing
me some of Armenia’s historical jewels
and most wonderful places! From a very

Armenians are fleeing the country for
want of jobs, we are at war, the roads to
historical and touristic sites are a disaster,
tourists

to golden Lake Sevan,

shambles, parents have no hope for their
children and yet, Armenia has everything
to make the change. It has the intelligence,
the power, the strength, the will, the
means and the beauty! All Armenia needs is
leaders and people who think right and who
put first things first!
Therefore, I was wondering how to create
a Fund to help Armenia raise salaries to at
least 500 USD monthly and pay the
difference to each worker who just earns
80 USD. How to create a charity bond so
appealing that each Armenian family in
diaspora gets to sponsor monthly a poor
Armenian family in the homeland via the
Fund. Imagine the power Armenia would
get if on the next April

24th

2017, each

Armenian sends 1 USD on a blocked
account in Luxembourg or Switzerland, a
fund overseen by European Inspectors, so
to create the first International Armenian
Pension Fund to sponsor job creation in
the homeland? Oh, my dear friends,
throughout my journeys in magical
Armenia, I can think of 1’000’000 things
Armenians in Armenia need right now to
go on with their lives in dignity, peace and
security! Please, if you feel appealed by

of the Kotayk Province with the wonder of

Therefore, I flew back home knowing that
Armenia has the Power to bring out the
very best in us! God bless our Homeland,
now and forever… Hima yev Mishd!
