The National Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia (NCFA) organized a
contest to choose a name for the longest ropeway leading to Tatev
monastery, as part of implementation of the project on reconstruction
of Tatev monastery complex. Residents of Halidzor and Tatev villages
(Syunik region) wrote essays to present their vision of how the
ropeway will change their lives.
There was no age limit for the contest participants, thus, both school
students and their teachers participated in it. The contest winner,
who offered Eagle Wings name, received a computer.
The contest basically aimed to involve residents of the villages in
the program of tourism development in the region, Press Secretary of
the NCFA Zara Amatuni told journalists.
Head of Halidzor administration Samvel Asryan noted that the ropeway
construction will create new jobs in the village. `Many residents of
the village have migrated since the Soviet times to earn money.
Meanwhile, the problem of employment will be solved now. We treat the
project with optimism,’ concluded Asryan.
