“To Donate Or Not To Donate,” a recent white paper by Ara K. Manoogian, a human rights activist and investigative journalist, analyzing the activities of the “Hayastan” All-Armenian Fund will be debated live on an Armenian television in Los Angeles, CA. According to a preliminary agreement, the participants of the debate are as follows: Ara Vardanyan, Executive Director of “Hayastan” All-Armenian Fund, Sarkis Kotanjyan, the Fund’s Executive Director of the U.S. Western Region, and Ara K. Manoogian, the author of the white paper in question.

Ara Vardanyan has denounced the white paper stating that “the facts that are given in the article are all rumors and furthermore have nothing to do with our organization.” On March 2, 2011, he made the following statement: “Both I and Sarkis Kotanjian are ready at any time to sit with you on one of the Armenian Televisions and talk about all these things live. Lets see what is true and what is not.”
