Nagorno Karabakh Republic
meeting of the "Hayastan" All-Armenian Fund's Board of Trustees On
14 May President of the Artsakh Republic partook at the meeting of
the "Hayastan" All-Armenian Fund Board of Trustees in Yerevan and
delivered a speech-suggestion there. Honorable President of the
Republic of Armenia, Your Holiness, Respected colleagues, First
of all I would like to welcome the working style of the "Hayastan"
All-Armenian Fund Board of Trustees envisaging on site introduction
with carried out programs, exchanging ideas about the work done and
discussing important issues in an immediate atmosphere.
Your traditional visits to Artsakh on the eve of the annual meeting of
the Fund's Board of Trustees are a good evidence of that. The activity
of the Fund is of utmost importance for strengthening and flourishing
of the Nagorno Karabagh Republic, improving living conditions and
raising lining standards of our people. As during the years of the
post-war period today there are issues in Artsakh that have national
significance too. These issues can be solved only by joint efforts of
the whole Armenians. In this row the restoration of the republic's
water supply system, which was almost completely destroyed in the
result of the military operations is of primary importance. The
authorities of Artsakh together with Armenia and the Diaspora set
about the development of this economically and politically significant
sphere. Together we managed to realize a number of complex programs
directed to improving the water supply of the country. Owing to the
active participation of the "Hayastan" All-Armenian Fund drinking
and irrigation water needs of dozens of settlements have fully been
satisfied, some objects in the capital Stepanakert and regional centers
have been restored. However, there are still numerous tasks to be
fulfilled. Two hundred villages out of 323 existing in Artsakh face
sharp shortage of drinking water and need urgent solutions. Serious
problems exist in Stepanakert and in the regional centers where more
than half of the republic's population lives. This program is quite
expensive. Only in the capital the construction of new water supply
objects and restoration of the operating ones require 6,5 billion
dram. It is obvious that the problem of water supply in Artsakh
can be solved exclusively by means of our joint efforts. Taking into
consideration the significance of this strategic program, I propose
to discuss inclusion of water supply issue that has vital importance
for Artsakh into the framework of "Telethon-2010". This will provide
opportunities to realize corresponding programs improving water supply
system of the republic.
Thank you.
