Serge Amirkhanyan said in an interview with the Azat Artsakh 67
houses were built and 23 were reconstructed for immigrants in 2007,
including 11 in Askeran, 3 in Shushi, 5 in Martuni, 33 in Martakert
(13 were reconstructed), 44 in Shahumyan (10 were reconstructed),
4 in Hadrut. The Fund for Construction, Reconstruction and Purchase
of Houses provided 800 million drams to settlers to buy houses.
2 houses were bought in Askeran and Shahumyan for invited specialists.
"When we set up the agency in 2003, our purpose was to strengthen
the border areas of Karabakh. Over 500 thousand Armenians were
displaced from Azerbaijan during the conflict. Many of them left for
the countries of the CIS. Our goal is to have these people return
to Karabakh, provide them with home and assistance. Presently 45
settlements are included in the government program where the government
builds houses every year," Serge Amirkhanyan said.
He said 20 to 30 families applied for moving to live in
Karvachar. Annually 8-10 houses are built there but the problem of
infrastructures has not been solved yet.
Serge Amirkhanyan says the appropriation for resettlement should be at
least doubled. The government annually allocates 1 billion drams. Serge
Amirkhanyan thinks it is necessary to involve private funds as well.
