Hayastan All-Armenian Fund begins construction of potable-water network in
Artsakh's Hadrut City
Toward the realization of the Telethon 2011 slogan "A gift of water, a gift
of life," the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund began construction of a
potable-water network in the city of Hadrut, Artsakh.
The project is co-sponsored by the fund's U.S. Western Region, with a major
contribution by benefactors Mr. and Mrs. Gerald and Patricia Turpanjian of
Los Angeles, and the government of Artsakh.
"This extensive development initiative was launched in 2008, when the
Hayastan All-Armenian Fund built the 22-kilometer Arjaghbyur-Hadrut
potable-water pipeline," said Edik Davtyan, deputy head of the Hadrut
Regional Administration. "The project will come to completion with the
currently implemented construction of Hadrut's internal water-distribution
network, thanks to which the entire population of the city will be connected
to the potable-water grid."
Components of the project include the construction of a distribution network
with a total length of 33 kilometers, a pump station, and two reservoirs as
well as the renovation of the city's 1970s-built well, the daily-regulation
reservoirs, and underground springs.
"We convey our profound gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Turpanjian, whose generous
gift will enable us to provide the close to 3,200 residents of Hadrut with
around-the-clock access to drinking water," said Ara Aghishian, chairman of
the Armenia Fund U.S. Western Region.
"We also convey our very special thanks to Mr. Albert Boyajian of the fund's
Board of Trustees, whose efforts were instrumental in making the project
possible," Aghishian concluded.
Another significant Artsakh initiative supported by Mr. and Mrs. Turpanjian
and spearheaded by the Armenia Fund U.S. Western Region was the construction
of Stepanakert's No. 11 (V. Jhangiryan) School.
Realized through a major donation by the Turpanjians and the co-sponsorship
of the government of Artsakh, the U.S. $2.7 million campus was the largest
ever built by the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund. Opening its doors in September
2010, the school featured state-of-the-art facilities and distinctive
architecture.
