YEREVAN.- The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund fund is currently building
a highly anticipated potable-water system in the city of Martuni,
Artsakh.
The project is carried out thanks to the extraordinary financial
support of Samvel Karapetyan, president of Tashir Group of Companies,
a member of the fund’s Board of Trustees.
When the first phase of the project is completed by the end of this
year, almost two-thirds of Martuni will have around-the-clock access
to water.
The Martuni initiative is the second major water-infrastructure
project in Artsakh to be realized mainly through the support of
Samvel Karapetyan and the Karapetyan Brothers Company, headed by the
benefactor, fund’s press service informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.
The first project of this type, also now underway, is the construction
of Shushi City’s internal water network, financed by Russian-Armenian
industrialists. The lion’s share of their contributions, totaling
around U.S. $1 million, was provided by Samvel Karapetyan.
Today Karapetyan’s gift to the people of Artsakh has become all the
more palpable in the form of the newly constructed Regional Hospital
of Stepanakert.
