Twelve new houses will be built in the village of Shurnukh in Armenia’s Syunik province, the governemnt says.

The government has set up a working group for that purpose.

The most convenient and safe area will be chosen for the district.

“We have studied the issue of roads and drinking water. The goal is to strengthen the village, ”said Armen Ghularyan, acting chairman of the RA Urban Development Committee.

The decision comes after twelve houses were left on disputed territory, as Armenia and Azerbaijan carry out demarcation of the state border.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
