Rest in Peace, Edgar...
It is with heavy heart that we announce the passing of our dear colleague and friend, Edgar Danielyan. Edgar was a valued member of the Tufenkian Foundation team for 18 years, serving in various capacities, including as the manager of our Artsakh projects. He tragically lost his life in the explosion at a fuel depot near Stepanakert on September 25, which claimed many lives and injured many more.

Tufenkian Responding to Artsakh Refugee Crisis
In response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Artsakh and Armenia resulting from Azerbaijan’s unprovoked attack on September 19, the Tufenkian Foundation is providing essential aid and shelter to displaced Artsakh Armenians. In addition, the Foundation is working to amplify awareness of the dire circumstances faced by the thousands of Armenians as they are forced to emigrate from their ancestral homeland, ending thousands of years of indigenous Armenian presence in Artsakh.
