Hamsheni Armenians of Kyrgyzstan are to move to Nagorno-Karabakh.
Ruslan Karabadjakov, the leader of Hamsheni Armenian community in
Kyrgyzstan, visited Armenia for further elaborations on the project
of relocation. Karabadjakov will also travel to Karabakh (Artsakh)
to find the most appropriate place for the dwelling of 200 Hamsheni
Armenian families, reports Yerkramas.
‘We belong here, in Armenia. For 250 years our fate drove us from
place to place, from Ajaria to Central Asia. Eventually, we decided
to shelter on our own land,’ said Karabadjakov.
The initial plan is to shelter 200 Hamsheni Armenian families in
Martakert region of Nagorno-Karabakh.
The project will be funded until Hamshenis will find the means of
supporting themselves.
