KAPAN, MAY 17, NOYAN TAPAN. By the decision of RA Government, 85.6 mln
drams has been allocated to Syunik region this year for implementing
the “Paid Public Works” program. The resources allocated this year
exceed by 15.6 mln drams (about 35 thousand dollars) the sum allocated
in 2005 for these works. As Noyan Tapan correspondent was informed
from the regional structure on program’s implementation, this will
enable to increase not only the programs to be implemented in the
region, but also the number of the unemployed involved in them. The
Syunik Regional Commission on Assistance to Employment has already
distributed these resources according to the unemployment level in
the regions of Syunik. Thus, 35.5 mln drams will be given to Kapan
region, 25.7 mln drams to Goris region, 18.3 mln drams to Sisian
region, 6.1 mln drams to Meghri region. It is envisaged to give more
than 57 mln drams to rural communities.
