About $4 million invested in development of Gokht, Armenia
YEREVAN, July 30. /ARKA/. Jaghaci Dzor CJSC, in cooperation with Green
Land Investment, is implementing a unique multi-component program in
Gokht village, Kotayk province, the company's press office reported on
Friday. About $4 million has already been invested in the program.
`Two small hydro power plants have been built for a very short period
of time, irrigation problems have been solved, new jobs created and
environment improved as part of this program,' the press release says.
Markos Gharibyan, director of Jaghaci Dzor, said these two hydro power
plants' aggregate capacity is 4 megawatt.
He said they had been built for less than 15 months.
The electric power generated by these plants goes to Armenia's energy
supply system.
Gharibyan said that some 90 residents of the villages of Gokht and
Garni were employed under this program.
Their average monthly salary is 180,000 drams.
A 6.25-kilimeter pipeline gathering water from melted snow had been
laid for irrigation.
The pipeline has conveyed 3 million cubic meters of water to villagers
over the period between April and June, and provided small hydro
plants' turbines with water flows.
According to the pres release, a major part of water from melted snow
flew to Azat River unutilized.
Thanks to this aqueduct the irrigated areas grow by 15 hectares every year.
Green Land Investment Company has planted 30,000 fruit trees on 72
hectares around the village.
`What has been made over the period between 2008 and 2010 is just the
first stage of our multi-component program, in which $4 million has
already been invested,' Gharibyan said. `Our activity is not limited
to the achievements we have already reached. We intend to put forward
new projects.'
Artavazd Hakobyan, head of Gokht village's administration, said hat in
addition to the main pipeline, other, thicker pipes conveying water to
farms have been laid under this program.
He stressed that this program deters villagers from leaving their
homes and seeking jobs outside.
Shareholders of Jaghaci Dzor CJSC and Grin Land Investment are Aram,
Garegin and Markos Gharibyans, Movses and Armen Dzavaryans as well as
Hrayr Melkonyan. All of them have been born in this village. --0--
