Renowned French actor Gerard Depardieu called on his compatriots to
participate in donation campaign organised by Hayastan All Armenian
Fund.
The appeal of the French actor was posted on YouTube video-sharing
website, where he said, “dear friends, I urge you to contribute to
humanitarian actions of Hayastan All Armenian Fund.”
According to earlier reports of Azeri media, the actor denied calling
for financial support to Karabakh authorities within the framework
of Hayastan All Armenian Fund program.
Azeri media may be unaware that the Fund is engaged in organisation
of humanitarian programs to support Armenia and Artsakh.
This year, Fund activities are aimed at improvement of water supply
in Martuni, Hadrut, Askeran and Berdzor.
As freelance French journalist Jean Eckian told PanARMENIAN.Net the
funds raised as of today this year are ten percent more than in 2009,
when France collected 1.3 million euros.
