The renovation of Gyumri’s State Pedagogical Institute will resume
this year. The works were terminated five years ago because of the
lack of finances. The government has earmarked 76 million 300 thousand
drams for the building renovation. The Ministry of Urban Development
will soon announce a tender for the overhaul.

Still in 2005, within the realms of an intergovernmental agreement
Russia promised to finance the renovation but the project failed. The
preliminary estimate for the overhaul was over 600 million drams. The
government has allocated 76 million drams, about 15 percent of the
required sum.

The Rector voices hope the government will finance the whole work
but he doesn’t know how long the renovation will take.
