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
