Yerevan, June 11, 2008 – The Moscow-based Armenian Professor Yuri Barsegov
donated the financial reward of his President of Armenia Prize to the
Hayastan All-Armenian Fund’s Assistance to the Children of deceased and

Yuri Barsegov was awarded with the President Prize in the nomination of
"Persons having made a valuable contribution to the recognition of the
Armenian Genocide."
The monetary reward of $10,000 will cover the one-month benefit going to the

In his letter of gratitude to the President of Armenia Mr. Barsegov
stresses, "My heart was filled with gratitude to be awarded with the
President of Armenia Prize for my two-volume book called Armenian Genocide,
Liability of Turkey and Obligations of the International Community, which
was published with the support of Armenians’ Union of Russia. Your
appreciation inspires confidence that with your leadership we’ll manage to
achieve the international recognition of the genocide and assessment of it
in accordance with the international law." In his letter he has expressed
willingness to serve the Armenian people and requested to allocate his
reward for the above-mentioned project.
Ara Vardanyan, the Acting Executive Director of the Hayastan Fund
