HOUSEWARMING IN MARTUNI

Azat Artsakh, Republic of Nagorno Karabakh
Nov 9 2006
The official ceremony of opening of the block of apartments built
by the NKR defense army in Martuni for 15 families of officers took
place on November 2. The minister of defense Lieutenant-General
Seyran Ohanian, commissioned officers, the regional administration
were present. The two-storey building in the center of Martuni had
been founded for the town library decades ago, but the building was
not finished. Seyran Ohanian congratulated the owners of the new
apartments and handed them the keys. He emphasized the importance of
welfare of officers and mentioned that the Armenian army constantly
thinks about improving their lives. In 2006 over 1 billion dollars
was allocated for this policy. In Martuni this is the second house
built for officers. The defense minister of NKR said that hopefully
next year more funds will be allocated for this policy because for a
strong army it is highly important to have secure and strong families
of officers. By the way, the apartments in the new house are very
comfortable with modern conveniences. The house also has a hall
for ceremonies.
