  • Breaking the Ice: the Role of Civil
    The failure of the 2009 Protocols to establish and develop diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey has largely overshadowed the success of civil society organizations in advancing the normalization process over the past decade. This report aims to help address this imbalance through a detailed account Breaking the Ice: of the United States Department of State-funded “Dialogue-Building between Turkey and Armenia” project, implemented by the Global Political Trends Center (GPoT) of Istanbul Kültür University, Internews Network, Internews Armenia, the Yerevan Press Club and CAM Film between September 2010 and December 2011. The Role of Civil Society and Media in Including an introduction that analyzes the current “frozen” state and historical background of Turkish- Armenian relations, Breaking the Ice: The Role of Civil Society and Media in Turkey-Armenia Relations presents the writings and reflections of the dozens of Turkish and Armenian journalists and students who participated in the project.

  • 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.

Beginning on April 24, 1915, with the arrest of Armenian intellectuals and community leaders in Constantinople by Ottoman au- thorities, one and a half million Armenians were deported, massacred, or marched to their deaths in a campaign of ex- termination. We honor the victims of the Meds Yeghern so that the horrors of what happened are never lost to history. And we remember so that we remain ever-vigilant against the corrosive influence of hate in all its forms. Of those who survived, most were forced to find new homes and new lives around the world, including in the A large crowd turned out for the Boston April 24 commemoration.
