RESTRUCTURING PROGRAMS OF KARABAKH'S LIBERATED REGIONS CONTINUE BY EFFORTS OF DIASPORA- ARMENIANS
11:45, 18 March, 2015
YEREVAN, 18 MARCH, ARMENPRESS. The liberated territories of Karabakh,
having strategic significance for the Armenians, need reconstruction
and development. Taking into account those and the other essential
factors, an increase of care of those areas by the individual
initiatives has been noticed in recent years. "Armenpress"
had a conversation with the founder of "Patriot" organization
American-Armenian Stepan Sargsyan, who has a rich experience in such
projects in the areas of Karvachar and Kashatagh of Artsakh.
- Why exactly the villages of Kashatagh region? I also know that You
have examined the needs of the residents of the liberated territories.
What are the upcoming priorities of Your organization?
- The choice of Karvachar and Kashatagh is due to their strategic
importance and extreme great needs.
Those regions connect the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic to the Republic
of Armenia, but their liberation allows reducing the length of the
front and focusing efforts on the eastern front of Artsakh. It should
be added that the high mountains of Karvachar provide a substantial
advantage of positions over the rival, which is the most important
factor to establish military balance against the enemy with exceeding
number of soldiers and arms. Also let's not forget, that Karvachar
and Kashatagh have a significant economic potential, starting from
the water resources, minerals and energy potential and ending with
the great agricultural opportunities. Especially the plains and the
climate of Kashatagh's southern wing can make it our second Ararat
plain. Eventually, in addition to all of the strategic arguments, this
is our historic homeland, where after a cease of 200-year, the Armenian
language is heard. The settlers have greater needs, than other regions.
I must say the simplest thing: If in the our other areas people live
in their ancestral homes and cultivate the ancestral gardens, which
is passed by generations, people are forced to build home and garden
from zero in these areas. The settlers have lived in homes by thatched
floors, destroyed walls and etc. Let's not discuss the infrastructure.
There are many needs, the resettlement is very important and the
necessary support and work are incomparable less. Whereas these
regions have essential significance for the strengthening Armenian
statehood. That's why we chose liberated region as our medium-term
target of work. (THE FULL VERSION OF THE INTERVIEW IS AVAILABLE
