*Deputy Prime Minister of Artsakh spoke about the resettlement of Artsakh *
July 27 2013
`Resettlement after the cease-fire in Artsakh, Armenia and the Diaspora is
one of the most important subjects, which is always talked about from the
tribune. We must be somehow related to the topic,'-said Deputy Prime
Minister of Artsakh Arthur Aghabekyan, and added that one of the most
frequently asked questions to the governments of Armenia and Artsakh is why
the resettlement in Artsakh is slowed down. Mr. Aghabekyan says that these
criticisms are basically correct, but `when they listen to the governments
of two countries, they also see that we are right.'
Arthur Aghabekyan, whom a group of journalists from Armenia met on July 25,
said that the issue of resettlement must always be up-to-date. He also
notes that settler must be, the so-called, `blind', have no information as
to where to go and what to expect. `Without knowing what kind of problems
they are going to face, many compatriots decided to come and resettle,'
-
said Arthur Aghabekyan and assured that the government supports the settler
who is ready to build and adapt a house with its own efforts in the
construction provided. But he also had to notice that they have limited
resources to carry out wide-scale resettlement. Deputy Prime Minister said
that there are villages in Artsakh with 50 residents, which are a heavy
burden for the state, and Deputy Prime Minister considers the
implementation of social programs in these villages a failure. `For a
village with up to 200 residents, the village mayor will do his best to
increase the number of population.
' According to Deputy Prime Minister of Artsakh, resettlement will be gain
greater impetus in 2014. For the Deputy Prime Minister, bringing residents
from Armenia to Artsakh is not a resettlement but a displacement.
Kashatagh, Hadrut, Karvachar, there are many villages in these provinces,
where the number of residents reach 1,000 and resettlement in these
villages is justified.
Arthur Aghabekyan also spoke about the new lottery initiated in Artsakh,
which provides great opportunities. The prize, according to the Deputy
Prime Minister, is not a monetary fund. At least 40% of the profits from
buying tickets will be used for the resettlement program. `They win carpets
produced in Artsakh and symbolic apartments.' A lottery ticket costs 2,000
drams. On December 28, the tournament will start as a sign of the
establishment of NKR. `Let's take the lottery ticket as a national duty,
that we become a part in realization of a very important concept.'
