    ARTSAKH IS MIGHTY WITH ITS FRIENDS

    A considerable number of schools in Artsakh were built or repaired
    on charity money in the recent years.

    The new school building of Shekher village in Martuni region was built
    on donations of Karpis Nikoghosian, French-Armenian benefactor and
    chairman of the French Association for Artsakhi Relief, in 2002. These
    days Karpis Nikoghosian was again in Shekher, villagers of which
    consider him their countryman who lives in France. During each visit
    the benefactor has a present with him. This time was no exception.

    Mr. Nikoghosian arrived in Shekher accompanied by the city
    construction minister of Nagorno Karabakh Republic and the head of
    "Capital Construction" State Non-Commercial Organization. This time
    Mr. Nikoghosian plans to build a gym for the school that will be 24
    meters by 12 with an overall cost of $140 thousand.

    The building expenses will be covered from donations of the
    French-Armenian community. Construction works will kick off in
    early summer.

    The gym will not simply serve as a ground for physical culture classes
    but will also serve the groups of amateur performances. In the Soviet
    times theatrical groups of Shekher were famous not only in Martuni
    region but also in other places of Nagorno Karabakh.

    Besides helping Shekher in school construction, each year the
    Nikoghosian family provides money for 3 students from the village to
    pay tuition fees.

    Residents of Shekher say: "Shekher has a prosperous future as it has
    such a friend as Karpis Nikoghosian."
