80 UNSECURED FAMILIES OF ARMENIA TO BE RESETTLED IN ARTSAKH WITHIN
CURRENT YEAR
YEREVAN, MARCH 19. ARMINFO. Within the 2004, some 80 unsecured
families from Armenia will be resettled in the Nagorny Karabakh
Republic, Executive Director of the Union of Public Organizations for
Repatriation and Settlement "Yerkir" ("Country") Sevak Artsruni made
this statement at a press-conference in the House of Journalists
today.
He said that within the coming two months, some 35 families from
Armenia will settle in NKR. They will be provided with cottages and
household plots (1,500-2,000 sq/m). Besides, Artsruni said that the
migrants will receive definite privileges on legal basis, for example,
exemption of taxes. It should be noted that the Union "Yerkir"
(consisting of 5 public organizations of Armenia and Artsakh) operates
from November of 2002. Artsruni said that development of bordering
zones is important for Armenia like any other developing country.
Thus, in 2003 in the NKR regions of New Shahumyan and Hadrout, several
schools, kindergartens and hospitals were built due to the Union. The
total cost of the program was $186,356 and 22,732 EUR. "Yerkir"
representative said that in 2004 construction works will be carried
out in Mardakert, Hadrout and New Shahumyan regions of Artsakh as well
as in the Armenian regions of Tavush and Gegharkunik (in more than 30
populated areas). The program for 2004 will total more than
$400,000. The programs are financed by charitable funds of France,
Canada, USA: "France-Karabakh", "Armenia", "Monte Melkonyan" and
Armenian foreign charitable-families.
Sevak Artsruni said that at present the Union "Yerkir" registers
families residing in Russia and other CIS signatory-countries, who
want to return to their historical Motherland and have no such
possibility.
