    AGBU INITIATES NEW LONG-TERM PROJECT IN NAGORNO-KARABAKH

    April 02, 2013 | 13:25

    The plans of the Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) to create a
    cultural, educational and artistic complex in Stepanakert - the AGBU
    NKR Campus - are underway.

    Last October, on the occasion of AGBU's 87th General Assembly in
    Yerevan, a new AGBU educational and cultural initiative was announced
    by Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) President Bako Sahakyan and AGBU
    President Berge Setrakian.

    This dynamic initiative will provide new and innovative opportunities
    to the scholastically diverse urban and rural communities throughout
    NKR. The Center will serve students of all ages, Members of Parliament,
    Government officials and other entities, and offer courses in English
    language improvement, preparatory classes for university entrance
    exams, and creative and media technologies (animation, video game
    design, web development and more). In addition, classes in music,
    management, tourism development and more will be offered.

    AGBU President Berge Setrakian remarked, "AGBU is pleased to announce
    the latest AGBU program in Nagorno Karabakh. We are convinced that
    education and culture are key factors in the development of any
    nation. The AGBU NKR Campus will become a hub of learning activity that
    will provide people of all ages in Nagorno Karabakh new opportunities."

    President Sahakyan commended AGBU for making education in Karabakh
    a priority.

    To realize this ambitious initiative, AGBU signed an agreement with
    the American University of Armenia (AUA) in February, to develop a
    Continuing Education Program (CEP), through its Extension Program.

    This program will begin operations in April 2013 at a temporary
    location while the AGBU NKR Campus is being built in Stepanakert and
    it is expected to serve several hundred students. AGBU has committed
    to supporting the CEP in the amount of $575,000, over the course of
    five years.
