    NEW MILK-COLLECTION CENTER TO OPEN IN BORDER VILLAGE OF AZATAMUT

    The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund is currently building a milk-collection
    center in Armenia's Tavush Region, aiming to significantly boost
    the local dairy industry. The facility, which will be established
    in the border village of Azatamut, is intended to service seven
    neighboring communities as well, including Khashtarak, Lusahovit,
    Lusadzor, Ditavan, Aknaghbyur, Aygehovit, and Achajur. The project
    is sponsored by the Armenia Fund U.S.

    Western Region, with funding from the Armenian community of San
    Francisco.

    According to a report of the Fund, the milk-collection center will
    be a two-story facility: the milk-collection center with necessary
    equipment will be located on the first floor, and a cheese or dairy
    section will be built on the second floor.

    Commenting on the urgency of the project, Azatamut mayor Zhora
    Martirosyan said that currently crop growers and animal farmers in
    Tavush barely make ends meet since they lack proper mechanisms to
    sell their products outside their communities. "The existence of a
    milk-collection center will go a long way in improving the lives of
    our residents," Martirosyan added.
