Visit Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh with the Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust (HART) 16-25th August 2015 Join Baroness Cox and HART on an international group visit to Nagorno-Karabaghand Armenia



Dear Friends

It is my great pleasure to invite you to accompany me on an historic 
visit to Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh)

This year marks the centenary of the Armenian Genocide, a time for
commemoration of the atrocities committed against the Armenian
people in 1915. On this visit, we will travel to sites of remembrance 
of the Genocide as well as places of hope, new life and cultural 
significance to experience the true 'spirit of Armenia' in this important 
year.

Join us on a journey to suit you: either on a walking 'pilgrimage' 
through beautiful landscapes and historic places or a guided tour of 
galleries, museums and other places of cultural significance and 
natural beauty. Either way, you will meet the inspirational people of 
Artsakh and see for yourself how they have created beauty out of the 
ashes of destruction.

This will be my 84th visit to Nagorno-Karabagh. Each and every time
I have returned humbled and inspired by the dignity and courage of
the people who have suffered so much yet who retain such great faith, 
dignity, generous hospitality and creativity.

We will end our journey at the Rehabilitation Centre in Stepanakert
with one of my personal heroes, Vardan Tadevosyan. Vardan continues 
to work tirelessly to develop his therapeutic repertoire for people with
disabilities, providing internationally renowned care. It will be our 
privilege to witness the graduation of nurses from the Centre who
will become qualified to continue this transformational work of 
creating hope and healing more widely across Nagorno-Karabagh
and further afield in neighbouring countries.

I do nope you will join us o this inspirational journey in such a 
significant year in Armenian history.

Caroline (Baroness) Cox
