Starting from 2007, the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund has been
implementing large-scale projects in Hadrout region of the Nagorno
Karabakh Republic, Public Relations Department of the Hayastan
All-Armenian Fund informs.

Tenders have been announced for construction of the Togh-Hadrout
gas pipeline, the Mets Taghlar-Azokh-Drakhtik water pipeline and the
Hakaku village school. Reconstruction of the Togh village school and
the Hadrout regional hospital are in a tender preparation stage.

The repair of the Hadrout potable water supply system is well
underway. From the Archi spring catchments a 21.8 km pipeline will
deliver potable water to the city of Hadrout. The city wells and the
daily water distribution reservoir will also be repaired. Also, the
Ishkhanaket river water will be treated and filtered in settler to
insure gravity flow water distribution to villages of Mets Taghlar,
Azokh and Drakhtik. Thus, more than 2700 people from three villages
will have regular water supply.

Gas supply in the region will start with the construction of the
Togh-Hadrout gas pipeline. The about 21 km pipeline will supply gas
to villages of Jrakous, Hosher, Aknaghbyur, Kyuratagh, Ukhtadzor,
Tsaghkavank, Pletonts, Melikashen and Aygestan, and will later connect
these villages to the main gas network in the republic.

On funds raised during the 2006 telethon and on donations from the
Fund’s US-western region affiliate a school will be constructed
for the Hakaku village. 2006 telethon donations will be spent for
construction and heating of the Togh village school. Its furnishing
will be supported by the Fund’s Argentina affiliate.

The Hadrout regional hospital project is of utmost importance when
it comes to healthcare in the region. The run-down hospital building
will be renovated, the hospital’s drinking and sewage pipelines,
the roof and the electric wiring will be repaired, a heating system
will be installed.

Project C.U.R.E, in coordination with the US western region affiliate
of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund will donate medical equipment to
the Hadrout regional hospital, which will be great support for the
only regional hospital that currently is in a deplorable state.

The Fund’s US western region affiliate has already donated three
ambulances to the hospital. There used to be one ambulance attending
to 12 thousand people living in the region. Another ambulance was
donated to the Togh village health care center by the Argentina
affiliate of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund.

Projects to help boost agriculture are also primary for the development
of the Hadrout region. Agricultural technologies have been already
ordered.

Agricultural developmental projects in Hadrout region in Karabakh
will be implemented following the Mardakert agricultural project model.
