In his statement, Arshamyan thanked all members of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, led by President Khachaturyan.

“I also express gratitude to the Fund’s global network partners, donors, partner organizations and individuals, and of course, the staff of the Fund for their dedicated and collaborative work. I am confident that Armenians around the world will continue supporting programs vital to our homeland,” Arshamyan wrote.
