    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.
