FUNDS RAISED THROUGH TELETHON 2013 TO LAUNCH CONSTRUCTION OF VARDENIS-MARTAKERT HIGHWAY
12:43 10.10.2013
The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund's upcoming Telethon will be
dedicated to raising financial support for the construction of the
Vardenis-Martakert Highway. The third project of its kind to be
carried out by the fund, the Vardenis-Martakert Highway is expected
to be a boon to the further socio-economic development of Artsakh
and Armenia alike.
Today it would be hard to exaggerate the crucial role which the
Goris-Stepanakert and North-South highways have had in the growth and
improved living standards of both republics. The Goris-Stepanakert
Highway, which links Artsakh to Armenia, and the North-South Highway,
often described as the backbone of Artsakh, have enabled the Hayastan
All-Armenian Fund to accelerate the development of infrastructure
(including water and gas pipelines and networks) as well as the
construction or renovation of schools, clinics, hospitals, and cultural
institutions throughout the cities and villages of Artsakh.
The Vardenis-Martakert Highway likewise will be of key economic and
humanitarian importance. By functioning as a direct road link, the
highway will become a second lifeline between northern Armenia and
northern Artsakh, significantly cutting down travel times, boosting
the economies of scores of Artsakh communities along its path,
stimulating inter-community ties, and vastly improving geographic
access for implementing local development initiatives. Currently
the only land-travel link between Artsakh and Armenia is the Berdzor
community, through which passes the Goris-Stepanakert Highway.
The highway's construction will include, in addition to paving and
the painting of pavement markings, the installation of water-removal
and snowdrift-control systems as well as protective barriers and road
signs. Design tweaks and special safety measures will be applied in
highway sections prone to landslides. These measures will comprise the
construction of support walls and rockfall-attenuation structures, and
the removal of rocks. In addition, the project entails the renovation
or refitting of 16 bridges along the route.
The Vardenis-Martakert Highway will bring economic benefits to
communities located within up to 20 kilometers on either side of
the route. Villages that lie within two to three kilometers of the
future highway include Drmbon, Kochoghut, Verin Horatagh, Vaghuhas,
Haterk, Getavan, Chapar, Khnkavan, Charektar, Nor Erkej, Dadivank,
Nor Getashen, Knaravan, and Yeghegnut. Outlying villages, located
five or more kilometers from the highway, include Karvachar, Nor
Gharachinar, Harutagomer, Zardakhach, Hamshak, Chapni, Chinavan,
Nor Kharkhapur, Shigkar, Nor Brajur, Yeghtsin, Zovk, Nor Vernashen,
Msheni, and Nor Manashid.
