RECONSTRUCTION OF HADRUT
Azat Artsakh, Nagorno Karabakh Republic [NKR]
07 Aug 2006
Hadrut is one of the old settlements in Artsakh. In 1923 it became the
administrative center of the region of Hadrut. The town is surrounded
with high mountains in the south, west and north, in the east it looks
at the Artsakh valley. This geographical position has always been very
important in defending the settlement from the enemies. During the war
in Artsakh Hadrut went through great difficulties. On August 15, 1992
the foe stepped up an offensive in the direction of Hadrut, intending
to capture the hill of Khurhat and the village of Melikashen. The
fall of Hadrut would endanger NKR. The local militants and the force
that joined them counterattacked and prevented their advance.
The war in Artsakh took the lives of 57 people. 22 peaceful people were
killed during shelling. During the war, Hadrut had a very important
strategic position; a number of attempts were made to capture the
town. Over 150 houses, schools, shops, restaurants, thousands of km
of power transmission lines were damaged. In the post-war years 140
houses and apartments have been reconstructed, 48 apartments have
been built for the families of the killed soldiers, refugees and
poor families. The building of the music school and the Center of
Children's Art has been repaired. The repair of the secondary school
of Hadrut is over, the repair of the gym and the club is underway. The
streets are being repaired, the government has provided 350 million
drams for this purpose.
Water remains the main problem of the town of Hadrut. The water supply
system was built in 1976 and has not been repaired since. Hadrut is
supplied from underground water, which is pumped to the town from
a pumping station three km from the town. The pumping station does
not operate normally and the town gets almost no water. There was a
plan to lay a 5-km pipeline from the Parzaget, and water will flow
to the town under natural pressure. In 1995, Armenia Foundation built
the second pipeline and installed a filtering station. The filtering
station did not work, however, because of the lack of corresponding
materials. Currently the draught has made the situation worse. The
government allocated 1.5 million drams to repair the pumping station
and the artesian wells. Hopefully, the new quarter of Hadrut will soon
have water, which will flow to the town under natural pressure, said
Mayor A. Abrahamian. The City Hall is going to celebrate the day of
the town on August 15, which has already become a traditional holiday.
