The government will provide 1.34 hectares of land near the Botanical
Garden of Stepanakert to build a swimming pool.

Prime Minister Ara Harutiunyan says this is the project of the
president of Armenia Robert Kocharyan. The president of Armenia
has transferred 350 million drams to Armenia Foundation for the
construction of the pool. In 2009 the government will finance the
construction of a sports center near the pool which the people of
Stepanakert need so much.

Stepanakert does not have a swimming pool, and the river is so dirty
that parents do not let their children swim there. There are swimming
pools in some hotels but it is too expensive to swim there. It is
the dream of every boy in Karabakh to learn to swim in a pool, in
big water. Their dream may soon come true.
