    ARTSAKH PRESIDENT SUGGESTS INCLUDING WATER SUPPLY ISSUE INTO FRAMEWORK OF "TELETHON-2010"

    Artsakh Republic President Bako Sahakyan delivered speech-suggestion
    at the sitting of the "Hayastan" All-Armenian Fund's Board of Trustees.

    Bako Sahakyan said during the years of the post-war period today there
    are issues in Artsakh that are of national significance. These issues
    can be solved only by joint efforts of all 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.

    According to him, 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, Artsakh
    President highlighted. 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 AMD.

    "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, which is of
    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," Bako Sahakyan said.
