Television stations are not allowed to alter the feed in any shape or form. If you have factual proof of the VO.X music video being aired during the time of the Telethon broadcast (factual being a recording of the music video during the Telethon with Armenia Fund telephone numbers on the screen and donor names scrolling on the bottom) please send in to skotanjian@armeniafund.org, so that we can investigate on our end. <br /><br />My issue in all this is the following: I am having a hard time understanding what is going on. The only music video aired during the Telethon was Sofi Mkheyan's "Chanachir", the rest of the music was performed live at the studio. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />Sarkis KotanjianSarkis Kotanjiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819444802156961103.post-63060693471865848052010-12-08T20:40:25.357+00:002010-12-08T20:40:25.357+00:00A question to the executive Director of Armenia Fu...A question to the executive Director of Armenia Fund.

However, I do not know if there are differences between that 12 h version archived by the Armenia Fund and full live broadcast, as seen in Armenia and Europe. People who alerted on the appearance of VO.X music did it by live commenting (plus afterwards) on Twitter and Facebook, along with the Telethon broadcast, and did not get challenged by the official Armenia Fund twitter account. In fact, before making this post, I did ask the very first person who alerted on this incident on twitter to confirm it, and I got such confirmation. <br /><br />I would happily post response by Armenia Fund if they believe the facts presented in my post are not correct.artmikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11207317653711435445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819444802156961103.post-6208803265245417032010-12-07T08:37:11.502+00:002010-12-07T08:37:11.502+00:00have these "people who watched it" call ...have these "people who watched it" call Armenia Fund office at 818-243-6222 to make an appointment to come and see the full 12 hours of the Telethon.
