YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 9, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The Hayastan
All-Armenian Fund recently began construction of a vitally needed
community center in Aknaghbyur, a village in Armenia’s Tavush Region.

The project is sponsored by the fund’s French affiliate, through
the financial support of the France-based Tavitian family. This is
the fourth grant of the foundation in Aknaghbyur with a population
of about 560 people. They include the community’s state-of-the-art
natural-gas, potable-water, and irrigation networks, all of which
have vastly improved the daily lives of residents.

According to the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund, to date construction crews
have laid the community center’s foundations, erected the pillars,
and built the supporting walls. Work will resume following a short
pause due to the harsh winter weather. Ararat Khlghatyan, Hayastan
All-Armenian fund deputy director in charge of construction projects,
said that the two-story building of the community center will house the
mayor’s office, a clinic, a library, and a concert hall, thus becoming
a vibrant hub for local governance, healthcare, culture, and the arts.

"Due to the reformations in village life already in the past few months
we have seen an increase in the number of births, four families have
moved back to the village. It is so wonderful that, after so many
years of hardship, the residents of Aknaghbyur once again believe in
the future of their community," said Aknaghbyur mayor Karen Dolmazyan.
