The Archut Village is Gaining its Footing
With support of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund, the Archut community of Lori
Marz is gaining its footing. A few days ago, in collaboration with the
Ministry of Agriculture of Armenia and within the Archut Agricultural
Development Project, the Hayastan Fund donated a wheeled tractor of SAME-603
and other agricultural facilities to the community of Archut.
Since the collapse of the Soviet regime, the village has been facing serious
difficulties, one of the most important problems being lack of agricultural
machinery. `Even one tractor is great support for the 480 small households
of the community', Vardan Khachatrian, the head of the community, says.
`This is not the first time during the 17 years of the existence of the
community that the Fund renders assistance to us in various spheres,' notes
Mr. Khachatryan with gratitude. In 2000, the Fund constructed a secondary
school in Archut village. In 2005, the school received new furniture worth
AMD 2,5M donated by the Funds Local Committee of France. In the coming
months, the committee will finance sport facilities for the school worth
4000 Euros.
Archut is a newly established village in 1989. Most of the 1500 inhabitants
are refugees from Azerbaijan. The village was formerly inhabited by the
Azerbaijanis, and then was abandoned in 1980s. When Armenians moved in, the
village was all devastated and ruined. The rehabilitation of the village
requires serious efforts and support. Among other acute needs are
construction of roads, installation of gas supply and phone networks,
drinking and irrigation water systems.
