To AAHPO With Love From Artsakh

Dear Dr. Najarian,


The Armenian American Health Professionals Organization (AAHPO) and the Fund For Armenian Relief (FAR) are implementing many programs in Artsakh, such as the professional development program for doctors and nurses, and the provision of medical equipment and facilities.


We should also mention the "Doctors for Artsakh" program, initiated after the war, which is of vital importance to the rehabilitation of Artsakh's Healthcare System.


Thank you for your dedication in strengthening the Healthcare System of Artsakh. We appreciate your patriotic efforts and are sure that the cooperation will be continuous.


I wish you and your families good health, new successes, strength, and courage in your difficult mission.


With respect,

Mikhael Hayriyan

Minister of Health of Artsakh Republic



Greetings from Our Partners at FAR

Dear AAHPO,


I am back from Armenia with a heavy heart, not only because of the geostrategic uncertainties around our motherland, bu also, because of the tense situation on the borders with Azeri enemy combined with inflation and dropping USD exchange rate are putting much pressure on our abilities to continue serving our people in need.


However, our people in Yerevan, Gyumri, Tavush, and Artsakh are working hard, all our projects are active and vibrant.


I have brought with me some cards as a token of appreciation of our people and our beneficiaries for your care, kindness and generosity. It is heartwarming, at these difficult times, you continue standing by our people. Your continued trust in FAR inspires us all in our mission in the homeland.


When I was going through the US immigration and customs on my way back from Armenia, an officer asked me if I brought back something of value to declare. My answer was that my suitcase was full with the most valuable thing in the world, but I cannot declare it as it is not possible to find an equal USD value to the voices of humble gratitude I brought with me from thousands of people to our kind and generous Armenian American friends. They smiled...


With utmost gratitude,

Garnik Nanagoulian

Executive Director, Fund for Armenian Relief (FAR)
