GAS SUPPLY NETWORK INSTALLATION IN ARAGATSAVAN TO START SOON

ASHTARAK, JUNE 23, NOYAN TAPAN. The process of installing a gas
supply network in Aragatsavan – one of the largest settlements of
Aragatsotn marz started in early 2005 but was later discontinued
due to lack of funds, the community head Andranik Papikian told NT
correspondent. Only part of the program was implemented with 7 mln
drams allocated by the Armenian government and 2 mln drams (about
4.7 thousand USD) invested by the community. According to A.

Papikian, considerable financial resources are needed in order
to complete the program. He said that the Armenian government
and ArmRusgazprom will allocate funds for this purpose, and the
installation of a gas supply network in Aragatsavan will resume
soon. It is envisaged to complete this work in late 2006.
