YEREVAN.- Slovakian and Czech companies assisted in construction of
hydro power plant with a capacity of 6 MW in Nagorno-Karabakh.

President of the Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe Ashot
Grigoryan said the HPP had been already put into operation.

During a joint press conference with former Speaker of Slovak National
Council Frantisek Miklosko, Grigoryan said a delegation from Slovakia
participated in the opening ceremony.

Grigoryan stressed that the sides had reached agreement to continue
investment programs and construction of a cascade of three HPPs with
a capacity of 15 MW each.

In his turn, Frantisek Miklosko stressed that Nagorno-Karabakh,
despite its small geographical size, is of great regional importance,
and in case of war with Iran can occur in even more tough blockade.

Therefore, Nagorno-Karabakh needs international assistance, he added.

Ashot Grigoryan said Slovakia plans to hold a forum this year with
participation of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
