He said Jahangiri will primarily concentrate on the planned construction of a new high-voltage transmission line that will enable Armenia to import much more Iranian natural gas and pay for it with electricity supplied to the Islamic Republic. The envoy implied that the Iranian government will be able to finance that project after the anticipated unfreezing of its overseas assets as part of a sanctions relief envisaged by Tehran's nuclear agreement with six world powers. The transmission line's construction was supposed to get underway in 2012. Armenian Deputy Energy Minister Areg Galstian said last year that it has been delayed because "the bank financing it has run into difficulties." Both Armenian and Iranian officials have also blamed the sanctions for repeated delays in the $350 million construction of a major hydroelectric complex on the Armenian-Iranian border.

Actions of this kind were committed by soldiers of Armenian origin under the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 336th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 23rd Motorized Infantry Division of the 4th Army of the CIS Joint Armed Forces under the command of Major Seyran Ohanyan, who not only seized fighting equipment - infantry fighting vehicles (BMP-2) - without a military order, but also used them against Azerbaijani territorial defense units in the battle of 25 February 1992 for the town of Khojali, which subsequently led to mass deaths of civilians in this town.

  • Armenia-Fund-Annual-Report-2005.Pdf
    I believe we are the most fortunate generation of Armenians in a thousand years. I know that many people will be astounded by that statement. All of us are painfully aware of how difficult the last 15 years have been for the people of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. Despite all the difficulties that all of us are aware of, it is important for us to appreciate the efforts of the greater Armenian-American Diaspora in rebuilding the Homeland. After nearly a thousand years of foreign domination and ninety years after the genocide of our people, we are not only still here. But we are here and given the privilege and the right that so many have struggled for, to build a new nation, a new Armenia that we can all be proud of. Armenia Fund has been the primary conduit of such efforts of the Armenian-American Diaspora. With a strong supporter base in the Western United States, Armenia Fund has overcome challenges in the homeland by meeting urgent needs and cementing long term developments. Thanks to its global network of affiliates in more than 19 countries, Armenia Fund continues to bring together individuals, major com- munity organizations and share the common goal of providing a secure future for the Armenian nation. Our efforts were clearly shown, once again, during our 2005 Telethon when we registered the highest rate of participation amongst members of the public. This demonstrated, yet again, that Armenia Fund remains the premier non-profit humanitarian organization in rendering vital infrastructure development projects in Armenia and Karabakh.
