KAPAN, AUGUST 18, NOYAN TAPAN_ARMENIANS TODAY. The construction of
a new potable-water system in Dzoramut, a border town in northern
Armenia’s Lori Region, is now in its final stages. The project is
sponsored by the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund’s French affiliate.

According to Hayastan All Armenian Fund, with a five-kilometer
water pipeline and the town’s internal water network already built,
currently crews are working on the construction of a water reservoir,
slated to be completed in September 2009.

Commenting on the critically urgent initiative, Dzoramut mayor Ararat
Pnjoyan enthusiastically noted that the town’s 120 families will
soon enjoy a regular and highly reliable supply of drinking water,
a fact which will significantly improve their quality of life. Over
the years, Dzoramut’s old water pipeline had fallen into disrepair,
resulting in an ongoing potable-water crisis for the villagers.

Dzoramut is home to some 310 people, most of whom are refugees. Farming
is the occupation of choice for the majority of the residents.

"By helping secure the essential components of community development
in Armenia’s border towns and villages, the Hayastan All-Armenian
Fund seeks to vigorously contribute to the prosperity of the local
population," said Ara Vardanyan, the fund’s executive director.
