Republic of Artsakh and Fuller Center for Housing Armenia Partnership
Official Launch
May 28, 2014, Berdzor, Republic of Artsakh: The Fuller Center for
Housing Armenia(FCHA) team with the Prime Minister of the Republic of
Artsakh, Ara Harutyunyan marked the official launch of the Artsakh
project. The launch of the program in the Republic of Artsakh coincided
with the day of the Declaration of Independence of Armenia as well as
the launch of the FCHA's 300th house construction.
`It is symbolic that we launch such a wonderful project on this day, which
shows the development of liberated Berdzor. Thanks to the Fuller project
and its donors for this chance. I'm looking forward to seeing quick
expansion of this program in Artsakh, with the support of the government,'
said Ara Harutyunyan.
`'May is a month of victories for our nation; may the symbolism have its
impact on the project too and may it be a prosperous and contagious one
with more families assisted,'' in his opening remarks said Ashot
Yeghiazaryan, FCHA president.
The May 28th launch of the program started with the construction of the
symbolic 300th home. The partners joined the Khachatryan family of three
helping them build their home.
Lyudvig and his parents lost their home during the Nagorno-Karabagh
conflict when their village - Maragha - was invaded by Azeri and up to now
it remains under their control. Ludvig has met his future wife in Berdzor,
the latter had moved to Berdzor from the city of Masis, Ararat region,
Republic of Armenia . The family had to earn their living and build a home
at the same time. The Khachatryans managed to build two small rooms during
the first 4 years, lived there for a while but soon they sold it and left
for earning their living abroad. Later in 2010 the couple returned to
their homeland. They managed to buy a half constructed house with only the
walls built and the roof installed. They renovated the roof with the
support of the municipality. Since then the family has been trying to
complete the construction of the half-built house and finally have simple
housing conditions.
`The launch of this program is encouraging. Each resident of our town came
here with an only dream to build and strengthen our land and we all still
believe in it; your support will make us stronger in our dreams and we will
continue working hard to create a better future for the coming generation'
- said Lyudvig, the family father.
Thanks to this collaboration, the Khachatryans will have finally completed
the construction of their dream home by the end of year. The Khachatryan
family house is sponsored by Minakian and Candan families.
Up to now enough funds have been raised from individual donors to sponsor
three families to be assisted in the frames of this project.
All Armenians and interested sponsors are encouraged to participate in the
Artsakh Project. The completion of a half-built home is $10,500 and a
renovation project is $2,900. To join this new movement, please send your
donation to: The Fuller Center for Housing, Inc., PO Box 523, Americus,
Georgia 31709, USA. Be sure to add `Armenia-Artsakh' in the memo line.
Online donations can be made by going to:

The Fuller Center for Housing Armenia is a non-governmental, charitable
organization that supports community development in the Republics of
Armenia and Artsakh by assisting in building and renovating simple, decent
and affordable homes, as well as advocating the right to a decent shelter
as a matter of conscience and action. FCHA provides long-term,
interest-free loans to low-income families. The monthly repayments flow
into a Revolving Fund, which is used to help more families, thereby
providing a financial foundation for sustainable community development. Up
to now the Fuller Center for Housing Armenia has assisted 300 families. For
