Allocate New Year and Christmas Expenses to Needy Children of Artsakh: Aram I

His Holiness Aram I, the Catholicos, has issued a call to help the children of Artsakh in anticipation of the New Year. Aram I pointed out that this year, the entire humanity is preparing for the New Year amid the challenges posed by the coronavirus and economic difficulties.

It is noted that, in parallel with these crises, the shock resulting from the war in Artsakh is devastating for the Armenian people, especially for the people of Artsakh.

The Catholicos urges everyone to refrain from traditional public celebrations and parties during the New Year and Christmas holidays and to instead allocate their expenses and gifts to the needy children of Artsakh. For this purpose, the Catholicosate has opened a special account:

Account: W-502039.005
Beneficiary: Armenian Catholicosate of Cilicia
Iban: CH93 08755 0502 0390 0500
Bank: Banque Pictet & Cie SA, Route des Acacias 60, CH-1211 Geneva 73
Swift: PICTCHGG
Reference: Fund for the Needy Children of Artsakh

The collected funds will be transferred to the needy children of Artsakh through the Catholicosate. The Catholicos has declared the year 2021 as the 'Year of Artsakh.' This program will be the first practical step towards the restoration of Artsakh.
