    Berdashen's water crisis is a thing of the past

    Yerevan, July 22, 2009 - The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund has completed
    construction of a water-supply system in Berdashen, a village in
    Nagorno Karabakh's Martuni Region. Comprising 16 kilometers of both
    gravitational and pressurized water mains as well as an inner network,
    the new system has already begun supplying the 1,582 residents of
    Berdashen with fresh, healthful water, derived from a number of
    mountain springs.

    The vitally important project was made possible through the
    sponsorship of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund's Argentinean affiliate,
    with contributions from benefactors Alicia Vosgerichian de Magarian,
    Varujan Panossian, and Hovsep Magarian - in memory of Takvor Magarian
    and Nvart Terzian Magarian.

    "The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund's Argentinean affiliate has
    implemented a wide range of projects in Artsakh, and the construction
    of the Berdashen water-supply system is yet another testament to our
    overseas compatriots' wonderful dedication to their homeland," said
    Ara Vardanyan, the fund's executive director.

    Past initiatives financed by the Argentinean affiliate include the
    Martuni Region's Kaghartsin-Spitakashen water pipeline, which was
    completed in October 2008.

    Berdashen's old water-supply system, built in 1960, had long fallen
    into disrepair, making daily life extremely difficult for the
    residents. Currently, with the new system ready for utilization,
    engineers are helping the villagers install water meters and hook up
    to the inner distribution network.

    Commenting on the new water-supply system, Berdashen mayor Ernik
    Gevorgyan said this much-anticipated milestone will not only
    significantly improve the lives of the residents, but boost prospects
    for continued community development and prosperity.
