YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 18, ARMENPRESS: Armen Gevorkian, chief of president
Robert Kocharian’s staff and Harout Sasoonian, deputy chairman of the
U.S.-based Lincy Foundation, visited today several schools in Yerevan,
which are being repaired on Lincy funds and also a road construction
site, also funded by Lincy.

The deadline for these two projects is September 1, 2008.

Five schools in Yerevan and as many outside it- in Vanadzor, Gyumri,
Ashtarak, Martuni and Hrazdan. are being reinforced and repaired on
Lincy funds. The total budget of this project is $18.6 million.

The budget of the second road construction project is almost $21
million. Part of this money is being utilized for repair of Tigran
Mets, Komiats avenues, Kasyan street.

The bulk of this sum, $15 million is earmarked for instruction of a
2.5 km Saralanj road which the authorities expect to ease traffic in
downtown parts of the city.

Speaking to reporters, Harout Sasoonian said he was pleased with the
quality of the work. "There is big progress since my last visit in
2006. I am impressed with speedy and good job," he said.

He said the Lincy Foundation does not plan a new program in Armenia,
at least until these two projects are over.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
