US-ARMENIAN BENEFACTOR PLEDGES MONEY FOR MAINTENANCE OF NORTH-SOUTH
HIGHWAY IN KARABAGH
YEREVAN, OCTOBER 18, ARMENPRESS: An American-Armenian benefactor
Vahe Karapetian pledged on October 16 to release funds for the
maintenance of a strategic highway that will run across Nagorno
Karabagh. Christened as the North-South highway the new road will
provide safe communication among all rural and urban communities.
Funds for its accomplishment are raised by Hayastan all-Armenian fund
through annual telethons conducted in the USA, Armenia and other
countries with strong Armenian communities.
Vahe Karapetian was in Nagorno Karabagh October 16 where he met
with its leader Arkady Ghukasian. He traveled to Karabagh via
Goris-Stepanakert highway that was also built on Hayastan funds.
Karapetian provides money for its technical maintenance.
The US benefactor also promised to help restore two churches in
Nagorno Karabagh.
