In 2006 116 houses will be built in different regions of the country
for people, who will decide to resettle in Karabakh. Building has
started in border villages, in other settlements building will be put
out to tender. Pavel Najaryan, the head of the Department on Migration,
Refugees and Resettlement said this in an interview with the Karabakh
Open. He also reminded that last year 8 houses were built for families
resettling in the village of Mesmna, Martuni, and over the past period
the number of children in the village grew by 15.

The head of the Department assures that people from different
countries wish to resettle in Karabakh. "Recently, people from Russia
and Central Asia have expressed likelihood to resettle in Karabakh,"
said Pavel Najaryan.

Building of houses and social infrastructure is funded by the
government, as well as benefactors. We learned from the Department
that the Armenian General Benevolent Union funds the construction
of 10 houses in the village of Berishen, Hadrut. "AGBU is likely to
build another 10 houses, a school and a medical station. The same
organization funded the construction of the school in the village of
Norashen in the same region," said Mr. Najaryan.

The building of houses and a school in the village of Nor Ghazanchi,
Martakert, will be funded by another benefactor.
