John Kchikian to Sponsor Atsakh
War Veteran's Surgery in Germany
PRESS RELEASE
March 8, 2001
WASHINGTON — The Office of the Nagorno Karabagh
Republic (NKR) in the USA is pleased to announce that on March 7, 2001
Mr. John Kchikian of Detroit, MI informed that his organization, Armenian
Children's Relief Fund, will sponsor Artsakh war veteran Martik Yesayan's
medical treatment in Germany.
As we noted in our January special supplement to Artsakh
Newsletter, Martik Yesayan sustained a severe head wound during the
defense of Gyulistan-Shahumian province of Artsakh. Due to complexity
of the procedure and seriousness of Martik Yesayan's condition, his
doctors recommended that the operation be performed in Germany with
cost estimated at $5,000-$6,000.
Last year Mr. Kchikian sponsored a thorough renovation
and refurbishment of the school and water distribution system in Taghaser
village of Dizak province (formerly Hadrut).
On behalf of the government and people of Nagorno
Karabagh Republic we express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Kchikian for
his continued generosity and exemplary patriotism. We also thank Dr.
and Mrs. John Manuelian of Winchester, MA for their contribution.
The sponsors will receive detailed updates on expenditures
for medical treatment of the veteran.
