Dear Armenians in Diaspora, people and foundations,
If you want to support Armenia, please don’t give any cent to the absolutely corrupted government of Armenia, to foundations founded by the government or related bodies. All these units are controlled by Serzh Sargsyan, who captured power and the position of the president after gross violations of elections and killing of 10 citizens on March 1, 2008 in the center of Yerevan. Sargsyan is the chief of oligarchs, defender of monopolies, and the general authority responsible for the high level of poverty, emigration, unemployment, homelessness, and impunity of violations against freedoms, human, and political rights. He was responsible for the consistent assignment of sovereignty of Armenia, which keeps several dozen political prisoners in jails.
If you really want support Armenia, please do it by directly supporting the people in need: soldiers’ families, homeless families, family/small businesses, even legally elected local self-government bodies in the regions, or local, accountable, and transparent NGOs and foundations operating in the field of your interests. It is easy to find real beneficiaries in Armenia. Please make sure your support is directed to people of Armenia and not to the corrupt government.
