"Ayastan" Foundation and authorities of Nagorno-Karabakh restore Shusha

The programme of urban redevelopment and construction of the city water supply system is launched in Shusha, Nagorno-Karabakh. The project and cost-estimate works are underway, and in 2-2.5 months a construction tender will be held. This was announced on December 16 by Ara Vardanyan, executive director of the All-Armenian Foundation "Ayastan".

The 12th annual telethon held by the "Ayastan" Foundation with the aim to raise money for restoration and development of Shusha brought about 16 million US dollars (15,875,043 dollars). The organizers of the action plan to spend the money on repairing the facades and roofs of the buildings in Shusha, and schools and hospitals of the city.

According to Mr Vardanyan, one of these days the water pipe that brings water to Shusha was commissioned, and after the works inside the city, the round-the-clock water supply will be ensured.
