YEREVAN. – ARF Dashnaktsutyun bureau urged Armenians to actively participate in Hayastan All-Armenian Fund’s upcoming Telethon.

The Telethon will be held on November 28 and will be dedicated to raising financial support for the construction of the Vardenis-Martakert Highway.

“This is another occasion for the Armenians to show their joint efforts in implementing national goals,” says the statement issued by the party.

The Vardenis-Martakert Highway will be of key economic and humanitarian importance, says the statement issued by the Fund. By functioning as a direct road link, the highway will become a second lifeline between northern Armenia and northern Artsakh, significantly cutting down travel times, boosting the economies of scores of Artsakh communities along its path, stimulating inter-community ties, and vastly improving geographic access for implementing local development initiatives. Currently the only land-travel link between Artsakh and Armenia is the Berdzor community, through which passes the Goris-Stepanakert Highway.
