    Let's prevent the village from devastation

    By Laura Grigorian

    The village of Sardarashen is situated in a distance of 25 kms
    from the town of Stepanakert. There is an interesting story obout
    this village's name. Long ago a young man Sardar by name lived there.
    The villages often organized competitions and this young man always
    won the other men of his age with his power. That's why everybody who
    wanted to say something about this village, they usually said
    Sardar's village.
    The village of Sardarashen has a very important strategic
    location and it was very useful during the Artsakh war.
    Sardarashen isn't a large village: only 150 men live here but
    there were more than 300 of them in 1988. These people are labourous
    but only some of them live well.There are only 20 pupils studying in
    the village school and nobody went to the first class this year.
    The head of the village Armen Simonian sais: "Generally, the
    youth don't want to live in village".Ther are many difficulties in
    the village, there is no gas here and the road connecting the village
    with the capital is awful, especially when the weather is bad. And
    there is only one old bus which goes to the capital once in aweek.
    There's a serios water problem especially now when "Tkoghny"
    spring dried out. The head of this village sais that it's possible to
    solve the water problem but much money is necessary. He sais that
    there is a developping programm but it's senceless. The village's
    future is the youth who avoid the village. The village is
    devastating.
    In agriculture people hope for the rain on which the growing of
    their cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables depend on. People
    don't have great land plots because it's situated on a mountain. The
    cultivated lands are in a distance of 8 kms from the village of
    Sardarashen that's why only a little part of them was cultivated. The
    Government assisted the villagers with some kinds of seeds but they
    didn't manage to cultivate the lands because of the lack of the
    technologies and the weather conditions.
    There is no culture here. The village library bacame just a place
    where some men gather to chat and to play different games.
