    ARMENIAN REPORTER: "BOTH ARMENIA AND NAGORNO-KARABAKH RESEMBLE A SICK CHILD WITH A BIG HEAD AND THIN LEGS"

    APA

    Baku. Rashad Suleymanov-APA. "The majority of the residents of the
    villages of Hadrut, being an administrative part of the Nagorno
    Karabakh Autonomous Region until 1990s did not return to their homes
    yet. The resettlement issue is one of the biggest problems facing the
    region", said Armenian Reporter in the report from Hadrut Region. The
    reporter said there were only 12 thousand residents in the region,
    APA reports. According to National Statistic Services of the separatist
    regime, as of January 1, 2009, the population in the Hadrut region has
    increased by only 12 people compared to the data of January 1, 2008.

    Head of Hadrut region's administration Valeri Gevorgyan confirms
    that during the past several years the population has not decreased,
    but it has only barely increased.

    The aftereffects of the war are not the only reasons behind today's
    demography, the residents said. Young people do not get married
    because they do not have a house. Today only 1 percent of the region's
    population can afford to construct their own houses. Thousands of
    workers from Armenia's and Nagorno-Karabakh's villages have moved to
    Yerevan or Khankendi in search of temporary jobs and are trying not
    to return to their homes, where the future is not as promising as
    it seems in the capital cities. And those who have the money prefer
    to construct or purchase a house in Yerevan, Khankendi or any other
    city rather than in Hadrut, said in the report. "Both Armenia and
    Nagorno-Karabakh resemble a sick child with a big head and thin legs",
    the reporter said. The residents of the region of Hadrut were mainly
    engaged in growing grapes, but now a portion of the vineyards simply
    perished. There are only 200 hectares of vineyards in the region now.

    Gevorgyan said during the past several years, Armenian Diaspora
    carried out works worth several million dollars in the Hadrut region.
