October 24, 2006, Los Angeles, CA - Armenia Fund United States Western Region is pleased to announce the domestic and international broadcast coverage lineup of its upcoming 9th Annual International Telethon. The telethon will be aired on Thanksgiving Day, November 23, 2006 in all Armenian communities around the United States and the world.

As part of the Rebirth of Artsakh project, proceeds from the live 12 hour program will benefit the regional development of Hadrut, Nagorno Karabakh. The funds will go towards building new drinking water pipelines as well as reconstructing healthcare facilities and schools that fell victim to the war and years of neglect. In an effort to eradicate poverty in this war ravaged border region, Armenia Fund will also implement a comprehensive agricultural development project to impact 1,000 farmers in 8 Hadrut villages. A similar regional development program is currently underway in the northern Martakert region using the funds raised during last year's Telethon 2005.

His Excellency Arkady Ghoukasian, President of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and Mrs. Naira Melkoumian Chief Executive Officer of Armenia Fund International will be present during the telethon. The live program is set to air internationally from Glendale Studios, California. Below is the listing of the domestic broadcast stations in the United States and their times in respective local time zones.

H1-Armenian Public Television will also air the live program in Armenia, as well as on satellite in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the United States.

In addition, Horizon Armenian Television, the largest Diaspora based Armenian cable and satellite network outside of Armenia will air the telethon on its channel as well.
