Three hydroelectric stations-Syunik 1, Syunik 2 and Syunik 3 have been
constructed to ensure electricity supply in Kashatagh region of
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. The project is implemented by the help of
investors from Armenia and diaspora.
`This is a big investment for energy sphere. This project is the first in
Kashatagh, which will give the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic an opportunity to
use a lot of energy for its economies. That is, the republic may soon
become a seller from consumer,' the director of Armproject Institute Yuri
Javadyan says.
Such a change will take place at the end of the year already when Syunik-3
hydroelectric station will is put into operation. The station which is in
construction process on Aghavno river together with Syunik 1 and Syunik 2
will not only ensure energy supply of Kashatagh region in Nagorno-Karabakh.
The project's coordinator, ARF-D bureau member Davit Lokyan attaches
importance to taking such steps, owing to which people will be able to stay
in their country and work there.
`Besides solving a social problem, this step pursues a greater
purpose-establishing a political posture,' Davit Lokyan says.
`To strengthen Nagorno-Karabkah Republic. The stronger NKR becomes and has
independence in different spheres, for example, in energy sphere, the
stronger its independence will become,' Director of ARF Bureau's Hay Dat
and Political Affairs Office Kiro Manoyan says. NKR Prime Minister Arayik
Harutyunyan informs about the significance of the project: `Such a project
is important from several points of view. First, political as it was built
in Kashatagh region, second, jobs for the development of Kashatagh region,
development of economy, etc. Third, it will have significance with respect
to energy independence. In this ravine there is very great energy potential
and all that potential must be used,' he says.
The day of opening Syunik 2 is symbolic: the 20th anniversary of the
liberation of Berdzor will also be celebrated on that day. The day was
chosen beforehand in this respect. NKR president and other officials were
also present at the opening ceremony. Though the hydroelectric station was
just opened officially it has functioned since November, 2011. The three
stations together will be able to ensure 8,5-9 megawatt power. Investments
for the project were made both from Diaspora and Armenia. ARF-D bureau
member Davit Lokyan notes that the last two stations of the hydroelectric
complex became a reality completely by foreign financing. Armenian
businessmen, as well as businessmen from the Near East and Europe have made
investments.
`I know we have built on our land, not on the land of others. I would like
other foundations also to follow this example and to make investments in
Karabakh, in all the regions of Artsakh,' the chairman of `Pyunik'
foundation Gabriel Chemberchyan says.
The project that has a strategic significance for Artsakh's strengthening
will be sustainable. Construction of new stations and other steps directed
to the development of the Nagorno -Karabakh are also expected.
This was not the only new thing on the days of the 20th anniversary of
liberating Berdzor. Groundbreaking ceremony of a new district in Berdzor
took place. At the initiative of ARF-D's `Artsakh' fund 50 villas, a
kindergarten, a school and other necessary infrastructures will also be
constructed in this district for specialists who will settle in this
settlement.
`The authority, the NKR people and investors from Armenia and from Diaspora
and our organization try to ensure the preservation and development of
these territories,' Kiro Manoyan says.
