    The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund has built and furnished a school
    in Spitakashen, a border village in Artsakh's Martuni Region. The
    construction and furnishing with a price tag of close to 200 460 000
    AMD was co-financed by the fund's Toronto affiliate and the government
    of Artsakh.

    The official inauguration of the school will take place in May 2010
    conditioned by the visit of the sponsors and benefactors.

    Attending the opening ceremony were Nagorno-Karabakh minister of
    education Vladik Khachatryan, head of the Martuni administration
    Lyudmila Azizyan, Hayastan Fund Executive Director Ara Vardanyan,
    Deputy Director Ararat Khlghatyan, principal of the school Shiraz
    Hayrapetyan, mayor of Spitakashen Armen Khachatryan, residents of
    the Spitakashen.

    The new building is immediately well distinguished within the rural
    landscape background. In a few weeks the school will receive its 74
    pupils with its well-equipped and heated classrooms, well-lit library,
    beautiful events hall, and a large playground. The school designed
    for 130 students, and if necessary, will accommodate students from
    close-by villages.

    "School construction is a major development goal of the Hayastan
    All-Armenian Fund, which has already built more than 200 kindergartens
    and schools throughout Artsakh and Armenia, and today this list
    was replenished with a new project. I hope that down the years,
    these children will contribute their knowledge to the welfare of our
    homeland", said Ara Vardanyan, the Fund's Executive Director.

    "The old school built in 1935 had become not only terribly unsafe for
    students and teachers but it also lacked almost all the elementary
    facilities. In order to enter the school, the pupils had to pass
    through the cultural center located on the ground floor of the
    building. Today 74 students are able to attend a wonderfully appointed
    and comfortable school, a fact that will have the added benefit of
    raising the overall quality of education", said the school's principal
    Shiraz Hayrapetyan addressing his words of gratitude to the Artsakh
    Government and Fund's Toronto affiliate.
