French-Armenian Celebs Propose 'Patriotic Tax' to Assist Armenia and Artsakh
French-Armenian filmmakers Robert Guédiguian and Vasken Toranian and actor Simon Abkarian have called on Armenians to donate a minimum of ten dollars/euros monthly to assist Armenia and Artsakh.
The fund drive, according to an Armenian Mirror-Spectator article, will be spearheaded by The Fonds Arménien de France (https://www.fondsarmenien.org).
The article says the funds will be used “to contribute to the security, sustainability and development of Armenia and Karabakh in these troubled times”, but does not specify who will distribute the money once collected.
The authors urge the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund to join the effort to collect this “sacred tax”, arguing that if three million Armenians contribute the above monthly minimum it would translate into 360 million dollars/euros per year.
