    NOR SHAHOUMIAN GOES ON

    Azat Artsakh - Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR)
    15 Sept 04

    The government and philanthropists implement a number of programs
    in Nor Shahoumian which is situated at the borderline. Presently
    the region has 15 communities of which 2 have been established
    recently. One of them Kkerkhapout already has its head of community,
    and Knaravan will have one soon after settlement. We talked to the
    head of the regional administration Vasil Nalbandian on the process,
    problems and programs of settlement of the region. According to him,
    the main focus in the region is on settlement. Here, as well as in
    other regions, the new settlers are granted privileges, provided
    with houses, land, pastures. They are exempt of tax on land and
    water. The head of administration mentioned that last year the number
    of new settlers increased by 350. This year about 12 families moved
    to the community of Nor Manashid from the town Aparan, Republic of
    Armenia. â^À^ÜOur aim is to increase the number of families in the
    community and not the number of communities, thereby creating and
    developing Nor Shahoumian,â^À^Ý stated V. Nalbandian. According
    to him, it is desirable to admit growing families. Nor Shahoumian
    faces the problem of communication. The communities of the region are
    linked by cars mainly. There is no telephone but soon, according to
    V. Nalbandian, there will be cellular telephone communication. Vasil
    Nalbandian mentioned the urgency of solution of the problems of
    drinking water, repair of roads, supply of electricity. At the same
    time he mentioned that the electricity supply system is almost
    completed. Presently only the village Tsar is not supplied with
    electric power. For the solution of the latter problem a small
    hydroelectric power station is being built in the village. This
    year in Karvachar it is planned to finish the construction of the
    palace of culture and sport, installation of the telephone station
    and electric power supply system, as well as the construction of the
    football stadium. Among the future plans is opening the branch of
    â^À^ÜArtsakhbankâ^À^Ý and the local population will not have to go to
    Stepanakert. V. Nalbandian also presented a number of agricultural
    programs. He particularly mentioned that with the assistance of
    the Ministry of Agriculture they plan to cultivate potatoes on 300
    hectares of irrigated land, which will produce a large income. The
    other unsolved problem is that of village roads. They can carry out
    only minor repairs on the means that the government provides.
