AGBU has founded another village in Hadruth region of Nagorno Karabakh. The village is called Bareshen.
This is the decision of the Armenian Londoners whose choice was approved by the NKR authorities. The village, ruined during the conflict with Azerbaijan, will be restored. It is already indicated in the map and soon ten houses will be built there waiting for their dwellers. The initiative to build a village in the abovementioned territory belongs to AGBU. The London branch of the organization managed to accumulate the sum required for construction of ten one storied houses. By the end of the next year ten families will move to the newly built Bareshen. Each house will have three rooms and will occupy 60 square meters. Each house will cost less than AMD 5 million. The construction of the village is dedicated to 100th anniversary of establishing AGBU in Cairo.
Harutiun Aghajanian, chairman of the London branch of AGBU, and Petros Aslanian, paymaster, recently visited the territory of future Bareshen to specify all the details and the arrangements concerning the construction. Anushavan Danielian, NKR prime minister, assured that the map of the territory will soon be finished and AGBU will be able to begin the construction. Pavel Najarian, head of Migration and Refugee department of NKR, and Harutiun Aghajanian signed the agreement of the construction of the village.
According to the agreement, NKR authorities undertook certain commitments, particularly, settlement the water supply, electricity issues and constructing a communication road. AGBU will secure establishing the water and electricity supply system within the village. The state will also render financial assistance to the families that are to settle down in Bareshen.
The future village will be constructed near Norashen that was built by the French branch of AGBU. 22 houses were restored and inhabited in this village. AGBU also built a kindergarten and a medical center. Norashen has over 100 inhabitants. There are 32 schoolchildren and 15 preschool age children. There have been three weddings in the village during the last two years.
“There are three students in our group. It will be good if the children from Bareshen also attend our school. I will have more friends,” Khachik, 12 years old boy, said. The dwellers of Norashen are rather encouraged by the news that a new village will be built in the neighborhood.
The residents of Bareshen will have to attend the Norashen school until the next stage of the construction, when a separate school will be built for Bareshen. The Norashen school functions in the building of the kindergarten. Soon the school will have a new edifice built by the Los Angeles branch of AGBU.
The abovementioned facts are only the small part of the organizations’ programs. Luis-Simon Manukian, chairman of AGBU, carried out the first programs of the organization in Artsakh. They restored Engels Street in Stepanakert and renamed it after Alek Manukian, by the donation of Mrs. Manukian. They also restored old people’s home in the same street and the old building of the hotel that is a block of flats for the families of the perished freedom fighters.
AGBU is also the sponsor of NKR Chamber Orchestra. Harutiun Aghajanian expressed hope that Bareshen will become a large and secure community. One of the priority directions in the activities of AGBU is to contribute to Nagorno Karabakh’s prosperity.
