President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan instructed that all 6,900
registered homeless families in the quake zone be provided with
housing before 2013. Some 4,000 of them are urban residents.

The government approved this program during its first out session in
Gyumri, the capital of northwestern Shirak.

Deputy urban minister Karlen Gevorgian told Armenpress that
concurrently with this major program some 40 semi-finished structures
in Gyumri will be accomplished. Another project designed to preserve
the Kumairi quarter of the city which is a historical and architectural
monument, will be carried out too.

Karlen Gevorgian said the government has released funds for providing
11 homeless families in Stepanavan, 13 in Dilijan , 30 in Vanadzor
and 50 in Gyumri with housing this year. He said 581 housing purchase
certificates had been issued last year and 431 beneficiaries bought
apartments.

The deputy minister said also that the problem of 30 houses in a
landslide area in Tavush province will be solved in 2009.
