Armenian Deputy Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs Arsen Karamyan
said that as a result of studies it was decided to implement Support
to Dwelling Construction for Young Families program in two regions
of Armenia - Syunik and Tavush, as there is a clear demand and
creditability for new dwellings purchase.
According to Karamyan, this is the first large-scale program of
housing construction in the country's regions, but for construction
works in the earthquake zone. "We will contribute to the development
of the housing space through this initiative. Besides, the program
is in compliance with the governmental concept on equal development
of regions. In my opinion, the program will be implemented also in
other regions of Armenia," Karamyan said.
Pointing to the fact that the program reads that the dwellings are
provided at lower prices compared to market ones, a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter asked Karamyan to comment on high payments for the dwellings -
AMD 195,000/1sq.m.
However, Karamyan noted that the market prices for dwellings in Kapan
make around $800/1sq.m. "In such case, the payment of AMD 195,000
rather differs from market prices. Besides, the beneficiaries can use
lax credits," Karamyan said, adding that around 17% of the dwelling
cost is the share of construction materials transportation, most of
which are delivered from Yerevan.
Karamyan noted that the dwellings are completely repaired, gasified
and supplied with a heating system.
