    THE COUNTRY'S PROSPERITY IS PROVIDED BY EVERYONE'S PARTICIPATION

    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.
