Orange supported the yearly Phonethon in Europe

Yerevan/Mediamax/. As every year since 2000, this year Orange supported the yearly Pan­European Phonéthon, organized by the “Hayastan” All Armenian Fund in France.

As in previous years, France Telecom Orange donated logistical resources to the latest Phonéthon, including the use of its offices and onsite telecommunications equipment in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, and Montpellier. In addition, the company provided the Phonéthon free telephone connections for the duration of the event.

The annual event, which was realized with the participation of the fund’s French, German, Swiss, Dutch, and Greek affiliates, resulted in almost 1.3 million euros in pledges. Proceeds from the Phoneathon will be used to build or restore water pipelines and networks in Artsakh’s Togh, Hartashen, Ukhtadzor, Aknaghbyur, and Sargsashen villages. The raised funds will also benefit various development projects in Armenia’s Tavush Region.
