Yerevan - According to Arminfo, the executive director of the Armenia Fund Ara Vardanyan was in the Islamic Republic of Iran for a two-day working visit to discuss possibilities of establishing a fund affiliate there. The trip was organized with the support of the Armenian Embassy in Iran, as well as chairperson of the Armenian Council of Tehran Aida Avanesyan.

The Armenia Fund believes that establishing a local affiliate in Iran will make the already established rapport between the fund and the Armenian community in Iran even more efficient.  

Thanks to Iranian-Armenian sponsorship a number of projects were implemented in the villages of Shvanizor, Alvank and Nrnadzor in the region of Meghri.
