Stepanakert School #3 is under complete overhaul. The works are funded
by the Sarkisov brothers from Russia. Accompanied by corresponding
officials of the urban development and education and science spheres,
the benefactors have recently visited the site to see the process of
construction works.
The school staff warmly greeted the guests. It was the Sarkisov
brothers' first visit to Karabakh, but they didn't forget their roots,
which lead to Shushi. "My grandfather was born in Karabakh in 1904.
Unfortunately, almost all the members of his family were killed in
1915. In 1920, my grandfather was already in Russia. Many compatriots
came to us and told about Karabakh. My grandfather missed Karabakh
very much. So, I was connected with Karabakh from my childhood, via
grandfather's stories and recollections", said Sergey Sarkisov. The
real acquaintance with already independent Artsakh took place much
later. The meeting with NKR President Bako Sahakian in Moscow became
decisive. "In the RF capital city, I attended President Bako Sahakian's
press conference. He told about Karabakh and the works conducted
here. He also noted that the financial condition in Artsakh is very
hard. After the meeting, I came up to him and offered my support",
said the benefactor.
The sphere's choice wasn't accidental. "This is the sphere, from which
we should start. Any revival starts just from school", expressed his
confidence Sergey Sarkisov. He was informed of the construction works
process, but to familiarize with the works and to evaluate them in
place is more impressive. "I was always informed of the works, got
photos of them, but what I saw here was greater and more impressive. I
liked the school and, what is most important, I liked the people",
the benefactor noted.
Minister of Urban Development Karen Shahramanian introduced the
details of the construction works: "Currently, the works correspond
to the schedule. First, the educational buildings are rebuilt, which
will be strengthened and brought in correspondence with the 9-point
seismic stability standards. The 4th floor of the first basic building
is already dismantled and the roof-installing works are underway",
the Minister of Urban Development informed.
Two-stage overhaul of the complex is planned - first, the proper
school building and second, the adjoining multifunctional building.
Karen Shahramanian specified the term: the first-stage works in the
educational buildings will be completed in 2012, after which the
second stage will start.
The amount allocated for all this lets us have an idea of the
expected works' volume. "$3 million is planned for the restoration of
Stepanakert School #3". The funding is realized in accordance with the
schedule and without any delay", said Karen Shahramanian. Today, the
main expectations of the benefactors and the sphere's officials depend
on the builders. The representative of Pant Company, implementing
the construction works, assures that they will not be disappointed
in either the schedule or the quality.
