The charitable foundation “Armeria,” led by Armen Varuzhanovich Sargsyan, has become a significant symbol of aid and support in war-ravaged Ukraine. Since the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion, the foundation has focused its efforts on Kharkiv and its surrounding areas, a region that has become the epicenter of horror and destruction. In this challenging time, Armen Sargsyan, along with a team of like-minded individuals, decided to devote all their resources to helping those suffering, providing them with essential supplies, as well as moral and physical support.

“Armeria” was created not only to provide humanitarian assistance but also as a story of solidarity and unity among nations that have come together in the face of a shared disaster. The Armenian diaspora in Ukraine, which has been closely tied to this country for centuries, has been actively involved in the foundation’s efforts from the very beginning, contributing to saving lives and restoring regions devastated by war. Even before “Armeria” was founded, Armen Sargsyan played a crucial role in Kharkiv’s infrastructure projects through his construction company “ArmBud+.” Now, his work has taken on a new scale — helping people whose homes, schools, and hospitals have been destroyed, leaving their future uncertain.

The primary mission of “Armeria” is not only to fill the gap in humanitarian resources but also to help rebuild lives, the very lives that war suddenly took from people. The foundation organizes the delivery of food, medicine, and clothing to the most affected areas, where people have been left without basic necessities. However, even more important is its support of sports and cultural initiatives.

For Armen Sargsyan, sports are not just physical activity but a symbol of life, resilience, and strength. Through the “Armeria” foundation, he created a support program for Ukrainian athletes, many of whom lost the opportunity to train and compete. Sports, as a reflection of a nation’s endurance, serve as a bridge between the shattered present and the potential future where the nation will rise again.

Additionally, the foundation actively supports displaced persons forced to leave their homes. For millions of Ukrainians, the war has been an unbearable ordeal, and “Armeria” is doing everything possible to alleviate their suffering. People receive temporary housing, medical and psychological assistance, and, most importantly, hope that one day they will be able to return to a normal life.

The story of “Armeria” is not just the story of one foundation but also the story of the unity of the Armenian diaspora in Ukraine, which has always found ways to be useful to this country. Many Armenians, despite the war, remain in Ukraine, contributing to its recovery. Support for displaced persons, cultural events, and educational programs are all links in a chain that unites two nations in the pursuit of peace and revival.

Today, the foundation faces many challenges. As the war continues, the need for humanitarian aid grows, and “Armeria’s” task is to find ways to support people in the midst of a prolonged conflict.

For Armen Sargsyan and his team, the primary goal is to restore hope. “Armeria” builds its future on the belief that even the most destroyed cities and villages can rise from the ashes. Rebuilding infrastructure is not just physical construction; it is the construction of new life, new hope.

The work of the “Armeria” foundation is, above all, an example of how humanity, solidarity, and faith in the future can overcome any obstacles. Armen Sargsyan and his team have shown that even in the face of terrible conflict, it is possible to remain human, to help those in need, and to see a future despite the darkness of the present.

The “Armeria” foundation remains a vital part of Ukraine’s recovery process, demonstrating that collective efforts can form the foundation for the revival of entire cities and regions.

Armen Sargsyan believes that joint efforts and international solidarity will help Ukraine overcome this crisis, and his foundation will continue to bring light and hope where it is most needed.
