Ara, this is BY FAR an immaculate report representing AF’s status, NOT as a humanitarian NGO, but acting as a resource of money embezzlement, corruption and operating behind black clouds, another case of a non-profit gone bad. History has shown that a non-profit organization blending in political and religious figures drives into a destruction and loses mission and vision… which is to “help people”. I would like for AF executive director to explain the main intent behind implementation of a “surfing project” to accommodate a leisure life style of a key official, I wonder if Mr. Kotanjian bothered to travel couple of miles into Sevan city to witness poverty and lack of basic living needs of people. My NGO rebuilt an entire kindergarten playground for $2500 which resulted in 40 percent increase in enrollment and ultimately led to a sustained project. This kindergarten, one and only in Sevan is now fully functional and sustained… a true success story for a cost of $2500.
I certainly hope that donors to AF come to their senses and demand a non-biased audit of the fund by a third party with no connection to Armenia, it will cost $15k to bring all the fraud and scam of this fund on surface, this is in my wish list and I will do it one day.
Well done Ara……..well done, you are the only one with guts and willingness to expose this fund to masses.

Dear Ms. Grigorian
Very well done!! Great job with the kindergarden. Hayastan All Armenian Fund has done 100s of such projects throughout Armenia and Artsakh and I am by no means saying that we are the only ones who do that. But, we surely are ready to jointly with you compare the prices of the works and the quiality of the work done by us. As I said we are open in any way.
And again, I feel pity that you still do not know that we, Hayastan All Armenian Fund, are the only organization of such type operating in Armenia that undergoes a third party audit each year. Furthermore our audit is both financial and physical, whereas other organizations operating in Armenia under the name of diaspora do not follow the simple rules of being honest with their donors. Concerning the Sevan project, again, this is simple lack of information from your side. The project was done with a donation of a donor from Russian Federation who specifically wanted to do this project and nothing else. The club belongs to the olympic association of Armenia and is not private.
Please note that we are not talking about the projects other organizations do!!!! Trust me there is so much to talk about. The numerous organizations operating in Diaspora claiming that they do good work for Armenia and Karabakh, but in fact they are just simply steeling the money. I wonder why none of you talks about that???? Hayastan All Armenian Fund is the unique organization in our reality and I beleive that our donors trust us, as we are the most openly working organization. This proves the constantly rising number of people who support us.
Dear Hilda, painting the old tank in a village and providing a few meters of pipe does not give the right to say that one have solved the water issue in the village. Please go and see the water projects that we do, and then only, you will see the difference. Its great that you did a playground for 2.500 dollars. We do too, but we find more donors so that we do the play ground and the whole building and equip it too. If we do someting that it should be good and long term. This is the difference between us and other organizations.
I am always open to any kind of discussions and criticizm, but if those are not based or gossips and rumors. The article of Ara Manugian is a bulk of unrelated articles which have nothing to do with our organization at all.
I guess somebody is very interested in playing with our reputation, but trust me this is not going to give him/her any results. Our donors believe us and are ready to stand by us. I would rather read and see what Ara has done so far for Armenia and Karabakh, instead of spending all his valuable time writing fairy tails about our organization. I guess Ara thinks that he is the owner of Armenian Wikileaks, but the difference is that Wikileaks provides things that have been said or done, whereas Ara’s articles are mostly romours. The info about Raffi Hovhanissian, Petros Terzian is fully made up and has nothing to do with the reality. A bulk of other things stated have nothing to do with us and I really doubt that they are true too. Basically, we stick to the Armenian nature, if we see that someone, in this case Hayastan All Armenian Fund, is doing good, we become jealous and start doing everything to make sure that everything goes bad!!!!! I have stated 100 times that we are open for meetings and interviews, why do you think Ara did not come, but preferred writing an article about Hayastan All Armenian Fund. Because he wanted to do something bad, its that simple. My staff and I spend at least 10 hours a day working here in Yerevan trying to make sure that everything is going according to the set plan and our commitements. Our friends in over than 20 affiliate offices throughout the world spend their time and work for free to help Amrenia and Artsakh, and I really do not know what Ara does?
And you tell him “well done!!, you are the only one with the guts and willingness to expose this fund to the masses”. Well guess what, this fund has been exposed to the masses since its inception, and this is the key to our success. I invite all interested people to visit Armenia and Karabakh to see the work that we do with the help of Armenians around the world, its truly unbeleivable!!! So much has been done !!!!! One must really be blind to not see it.
Best Regards
Ara Vardanyan
Executive Director
Hayastan All Armenian Fund
Dear Mr. Vardanyan:
Many thanks for your delayed response which unfortunately lacks substance and insightful solution.
First and Foremost, I have known Ara Manoogian for the past several years and have high respect for him and his family, Ara is a true patriot who has deep passion and compassion for the motherland and lived in Martuni under harsh living condition for years, while you made some disrespectful comments towards him with false presumptions, but I am delighted to see you approved his dedication to have spent endless hours of research to write this paper which is backed up with factual data. Perhaps, it’s best to spend time and energy to get to know Mr. Manoogian prior making any comments, then again, this not the venue for personal comemnts. In any case, should you have any issues with Ara, kindly confront him directly.
Mr. Vardanyan, I admire your hard work, passion and compassion for Armenia, as a matter of fact, I do admire WHOEVER extends a helping hand to Armenia, however I do not appreciate sarcastic and childish remarks which doesn’t serve any purpose, so, let’s leave out such remarks and get to the facts and figures.
Mr. Vardanyan, you don’t know who I am, what I do and have done for Armenia, therefore, you assume I simply raise funds to do small projects and be glorified like any other diaspora……well, I certainly hope you find out a bit more about my activities and what I have and still doing for Armenia, but that won’t be the case, because you will not find my name anywhere, as I DON’T WISH to be glorified and build an empire to serve a hidden agenda, as I have only ONE AGENDA which is to rebuild villages and help the poor to pull themselves out of poverty trap.
Mr. Vardanyan, allow me to take a few moment and introduce myself to give you a better idea of my background. I have over 25 years of International Development Experience in private sector, worked for a top Fortune 100 company in California, followed by 7 years of NGO experience, with working experience in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Armenia, distance volunteer work for NGO groups in the Republic of Sierra Leon and Mongolia. During my deployment in Afghanistan, I have briefed Presidents, Obama, Bush, Karzai and several higher ranking Generals in U.S. and NATO forces. I have received the highest achievement awards from NATO and U.S. forces in Afghanistan. I was a program officer to manage a large portion of the largest USAID funded community development program in Afghanistan. I am holding an MBA with a 3.77 GPA and a Ph.D. Candidate in International NGO Management and Local Governance Sustainability/International Development. I have worked for many donor agencies and very well known in development arena…..so, with this background, I would like to make a point that I have a thorough knowledge of development in TCNs. Let me go back to your disrespectful comment of “painting an old tank and providing water pipe doesn’t resolve the water issue”, you are FLAT OUT WRONG, not only we replaced a pump and a tank, we employed community members (short term sustainable income)provided materials to communities to build a water networking system, we then trained community members to operate and maintain the system and ensure sustainability through capacity building, if you don’t call this a SUCCESS, then you need to take few DEVELOPMENT courses to understand the principles of development. I have no doubt that AF has implemented several successful projects, but I seriously doubt if any project is fully functional and/or has a built in sustainability plan behind it, if I am wrong, then please send me names of few projects to visit while I am in Armenia next month.
Mr. Vardanyan, I am a developer and I measure success through impact and not outcome….these are two different end results, you can set indicators for a project with several outcome, but impact is what matters at the end, I have implemented projects with high end impact in venerable communities, I spent thousands of my own retirement funds to help poor to get back on their feet and I am proud of my achievements, now I can hold my head up high with proud to say, I have paid my dues to the motherland. I did not publicize my projects and donors as AF has done, I did not involve any political/religious leaders in my fund as AF has done, why? because I BELIEVE IN MY MISSION……which is to serve the POOR.
Mr. Vardanyan, hats off to you an your staff for hard work and 10 hours a day, which in my opinion is not sufficient to operate a large fund as AF, ..frankly speaking I have worked with several NGOs in Armenia, we worked 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, and these are small NGOs, I certainly hope you are paid generously for your hard work. I respect all volunteers and donors who believe in this fund, the intent here is NOT to ruin AFs reputation but to bring awareness to masses.
Mr. Vardanyan, everyone is entitle to an opinion and belief system, I DON’T BELIEVE in AF, PERIOD…..why? Armenia Fund started in a perfect path, but diverted itself in different ways to serve and glorify high ranking officials in Armenia…..the fund lost it’s vision and priority, HELPING PEOPLE is NO LONGER a priority for AF…..very sad truth….again, you can argue all you want, I am entitle to my opinion, based on my findings back in 2004 when I worked as a consultant to conduct a “due diligence” of NGO/INGOs working in Armenia, so, again, you don’t know me well enough to know that I have done my research 7 years ago. In my humble opinion, AF can not measure success based on impact and sustainability, AF simply implement projects where it’s convenient and visible to masses(e.g., public park in Baghramian Street, which serves absolutely NO PURPOSE), huge PR, photo ops, great looking website, mass media…yet NO IMPACT…I am not BLIND nor am I an IDIOT not to see what the fund has done, again, more power to you all, but YOU MUST BE A DEVELOPER to see from a developer stand point and recognize the absence of sustainability and quality in your projects.
At the end of the day, AF does not reach out to the grass roots, to those who suffer from hunger, starvation (at least not to those villages I traveled in Northern Marzes), to those who can not afford to buy medicine to prolong their death, those who walk several miles to reach a functional school and women who die at child birth due to poor roads and lack of access to a medical facility…..simply said…..AF failed these people, refer to UNDP Human Development Report (HDR) and Human Development Index (HDI) to understand where Armenia stands right now.
Mr. Vardanyan, have you ever asked yourself as to WHY MCC pulled the plug on Armenia? why other donors are disappearing from Armenia? why diaspora has no longer have faith in NGO/INGOs? you seem to be an intelligent individual, do yourself a favor and start researching to find the answer.
In conclusion, it’s time to teach Armenia HOW TO FISH rather than GIVING IT A FISH TO FEED SELF.
Again, I wish to thank you for taking time from your busy schedule and write a note, please do enlighten us with insightful information and proof us wrong.
Yours for Armenia
