On April 30 the mayor of Shushi was elected. The former mayor Felix
Hakobyan was reelected. The NKR Central Election Committee reported
that 1148 out of the 2181 voters turned up, and the former mayor
received 887 votes.
On May 9 the 14th anniversary of liberation of Shushi will be
celebrated. The town is not reconstructed yet. Moreover, by official
data the number of the population is dropping. The authorities say
the city is too badly ruined, and the efforts of the Armenians all
over the world are needed. Two ways of involving the efforts of the
Armenians all over the world were suggested: to hold a telethon of
donations for Shushi or to proclaim Shushi a free economic area,
anticipating investments of Armenians all over the world.
After the North-South Highway the next telethon was expected to be
held for Shushi. However, last year the telethon was held for the
region of Martakert, and this year the donations will be for the
region of Hadrut, says Armo Tsatryan, the NKR minister of territorial
management and development of infrastructures.
For the free economic area, the minister says a government commission
has been set up to work out a plan of turning Shushi a center
of education and culture. The ministries were instructed to work
out separate programs, involving the program of the free economic
area. Armo Tsatryan said the commission will discuss the programs
after the May holidays.
