On June 30, within his pre-election campaign, presidential candidate
and current President of the NKR Bako Sahakian met with the voters in
Martakert region's north-western sector, the start-point being the
Kichan-Nor Ghazanchi communities, where the presidential candidate was
greeted with the traditional bread-and-salt.
As almost everywhere, here also President Sahakian and his teammates
put fresh flowers on the monument erected in memory of the Artsakh War
victims.
Referring to his five-year officiating activities, Bako Sahakian noted
that for the mentioned period, he had tried to fulfill his
responsibilities as the head of state with daily and consistent works:
as the main guarantor of the country's and population's security, to
strengthen the Republic's border zone, to keep in the focus of
attention the increase of the Army's defense capability, to promote
the rural and agricultural development, the successful reform process
in the educational and other spheres, to contribute to the rise of the
people's living standards, the improvement of the housing-, living-,
and other conditions of the families of deceased soldiers, those
disabled, and the most socially vulnerable sections of the population.
Glancing back and re-estimating the previous activities, the
presidential candidate considers that, however, there were some
omissions and half-fulfilled programs, for the adjustment of which and
for the continuation of the incomplete programs the President
nominated his candidacy for the second period.
Among other priority areas, agriculture occupied an important place in
both the previous and current pre-election programs,
Especially in the recent years, over 400 units of equipment, including
a few dozens of harvesting combines, were purchased and imported via
the state budget funds, which eased the farmers' heavy burden. But,
part of the agricultural equipment is of foreign production supplied
with computer technology, and a considerable part of the machine
operators cannot handle it. For filling the gap, the Rural and
Agricultural Support Fund organizes periodically professional courses
and consultations. But, it is not enough. Taking into consideration
the foreseeable future, we should have highly qualified machine
operators.
A crediting strategy is carried out in the country, which is enjoyed
by many citizens for purchasing and renovating their apartments, the
mortgage credit program seems to be effective. However, the citizens'
complaints in the noted directions are considerable. According to the
presidential candidate, it was not everything that was properly
calculated. Bako Sahakian informed the community representatives that
the Government had already been instructed to review the conditions of
the mortgage loans, first of all, the term (to make 25 years as the
repayment term) and the percentage.
The participants of the meeting with Bako Sahakian (first of all,
community leaders, school directors, and other officials) raised the
most vital issues. So, in Kichan village it is the roads' improvement,
in Nor Ghazanchi - the houses' roofs, in Nor Seysulan - the
availability of underground water in about a dozen of houses, due to
the open Nor Seysulan-Nor Aygestan irrigation waterline (this
community has no kindergarten, club, celebrations' center, medical
station), in Haykajur - the need in a new school, in Nor Aygestan and
Drmbon - the issue of drinking water.
The Drmbon copper-gold concentrating enterprise dominates over its
neighborhood by its huge production buildings and auxiliary
structures. The largest taxpayer in the Republic - Base Metals Company
- comprises currently about 1,200 workers, mostly the local
inhabitants. The high salary and low prices for food products eased
the problems of almost the same number of families from the
surrounding villages. And if the mine in Kashen is put into operation
(currently, up to 120 people work there) the number of workers,
according to the Company's Executive Director Arthur Mkrtumian, will
increase to 1700.
The Base Metals, in addition to its daily care of the workers and full
implementation of its obligations, almost every year carries out
humanitarian programs in Drmbon and other nearby villages. Taking
advantage of the meeting with the President, the inhabitants of the
village of Kojoghot raised the issue of renovating a building in the
village, which is suitable for a kindergarten, and asked the company's
assistance.
The response was quick - the building will be ready in three months to
receive the children. Moreover, the company's leadership promised to
provide the kindergarten with corresponding furniture.
At the meetings, there were a great number of voters' speeches, in
which they wished the presidential candidate success and victory,
believing that when elected, Bako Sahakian would achieve the highest
bar of progress.
The Drmbon community called upon the people to give their vote of
confidence to Bako Sahakian.
The Artsakh State University's honored lecturers, spouses Lavrent
Ghalayan and Arzik Mkhitarian expressed their confidence that in the
second period, Bako Sahakian would use all his abilities and
experience to ensure deserving vital activity for the Artsakh people.
