YEREVAN, AUGUST 27, ARMENPRESS. Russian peacekeepers in Nagorno Karabakh are ensuring the security of the construction site of a new reservoir, which is being built to meet the needs of the population of Artsakh as well as the industry.

“The structure under construction is located near the line of contact, that’s why the presence of the Russian peacekeeping contingent is necessary,” the Russian defense ministry quoted a representative of the peacekeepers Aleksey Kolesnikov as saying.

“Here we are carrying out works in the direction of preserving artesian waters and with this purpose we requested the command of the Russian peacekeepers to ensure security. The peacekeeping contingent command provided one unit which is currently ensuring the security of our work. We thank the peacekeeping contingent for providing assistance in time,” said Adam Grigoryan, a representative of a mining enterprise.

The construction of the reservoir is expected to be completed by yearend.

“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
