On November 16-18 the Pan-Armenian Fund «Armenia» organized the annual telephone-marathon during which about 1500 small and medium organizations were phoned. The result exceeded last year's index of 15 million AMD.

About 27 million AMD (some $60 thousand in USD)was gathered which proves that the Armenian telephone-marathons become more and more effective year by year. The sum gathered will be spent on the program «Renaissance of Artsakh», the first phase of which is the reconstruction of the Martakert region of NKR.

Suchlike events will also be organized abroad. November 17-20 French local body of the fund holds the traditional «phonethon». During the first day more than 300 thousand Euros have been gathered.

Another marathon organized in Argentina resulted in gathering 50 thousand USD.

The Fund continues to get donations from different people and organizations the names of which will be announced during the chief event – «TV marathon-2005».
