The Report was prepared based on the Project Management and Supervision Consultant (PMC) and the contractor reports as well as PIU specialist’s visits. 1. The RA has selected the Bavra-Yerevan-Agarak route as the north-south road corridor to be rehabilitated, reconstructed and expanded and has appointed the “North-South road Corridor Investment Program PIU” SNCO (“NSRP” PIU SNCO) of the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MOTC) to co-ordinate the work. The Program is funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) under a multi-tranche funding facility (MFF). 2. The MFF is designed to rehabilitate and upgrade national north-south roads to form a new, upgraded and expanded North-South highway. The main objective is to widen the existing 2-lane roads (often in poor condition) to become 4-lane divided roads along existing alignments wherever possible or to construct new alternate 2-lane roads where a single 4-lane road would not be feasible. 3. Tranche 1 Project is to improve two road sections of the North-South Corridor, namely, the M-1 section of road north from Yerevan to Ashtarak from km 18+370 to km 29+773 and the M-2 section of road south from Yerevan to Ararat from km 9+312 to km 47+400. 4. The Tranche 2 Project starts at km 29+600 in Ashtarak and end at km 71+500 close to Talin. Two bypasses will be constructed in Agarak starting at km 29+934 to km 32+600, and in Ujan from km 36+600 to km 40+300. The Project will also have a new road alignment (8.95 kilometres) at Katnagbyur starting from km 59+950 to km 68+900 that will be located on the left side of the existing highway to join the existing alignment in Talin. Figure 1. Tranche1 and Tranche2 of North-South Road Corridor 1. Construction Activities and Project Progress During Reporting Period The Contractor opened two carriageway traffic of Ashtarak-Talin (PK 29+600-PK 71+500) and Yerevan-Ararat (PK 9+312-PK 28+900) M1 road sections of Tranche 1 to ensure road safety and traffic management on 29 December 2015. This does not constitute a taking over of the Works (Tranche 1) or any part of it by the Project. Taking over Certificate will be issued after performing Tests on Completion at the end of the next reporting period. During the reporting period the following construction activities were implemented: 1.1 Tranche 2 Ashtarak-Talin M1 road (PK 29+600-PK 71+500): Construction works were implemented by “Corsan Corviam Construction” S.A.

  • Armenian Acts of Cultural Terrorism
    Iğdır Azerbaijani‐Turkish Cultural Association ARMENIAN ACTS OF CULTURAL TERRORISM History remembers, while Names changed Cafer Qiyasi, İbrahim Bozyel Kitab Klubu www.kitabklubu.org Baku – 2007 PREFACE It is a fact that the most important factor which enables nations to last out, is their cultural identity. It goes down in history that a nationʹs failure to hold on to its cultural values tenaciously would lead to a total frustration. As pointed out by one writer, ʹIf we shoot bullets through our past, a cannonade by our future gen‐ erations is next to come.ʹ Therefore, in order to succeed in living up to standards of a dignified life, one has to protect, maintain, and transmit his cultural heritage, which in turn builds a bridge between the past and the future. Regrettably, even around the turn of the century, terrorism remains a grim fact. It is excruciating to witness innocent people falling victims to terrorism. How‐ ever, what is more dangerous and utterly unpardonable is cultural terrorism. Fighting, plundering and arson have long been canonized as glorifying forms of action by some nations therefore it has been highly pertinent, in their view, to obliterate the cultural artifacts belonging to their adversaries which survived over centuries. Most probably, history will not excuse those nations that are committed to prove their dignity by destroying the cultural monuments of other civilizations. Dear readers, in its attempt to shed light on the question What is cultural terrorism?, this book constitutes a striking piece of document presented to the world public. You will be petrified to read about the cultural genocide exercised vigorously over Azerbaijani Turks by Armenian propagandists who unjustly misinform the world by spreading erroneous claims of ethnic genocide ‐alleged mass killings of Arme‐ nians in Ottoman Turkey in 1915.

  • Gratitude Report to Vivacell-MTS 2019 Building Homes, Communities and a Homeland 18 December, 2019
    Gratitude Report to VivaCell-MTS 2019 Building Homes, Communities and a Homeland 18 December, 2019 Dear Mr. Ralph Yirkian, I am writing to once again express my deepest gratitude for the generous investment of VivaCell-MTS. This year, 46 families in need of decent housing benefited from that support. And it’s my pleasure to share with you this report with before and after photos of all families supported. Altogether, in 8 years, the lives of 208 families of different communities of all regions of Armenia changed irrevocably. Substandard housing is one of the primary reasons that makes families move abroad. Almost none of the Building Homes, Communities and a Homeland families we have supported during these years has left Armenia and this is a proof that the partnership has a positive influence on decreasing emigration in Armenia. We believe that strong families are the building blocks of strong communities and of a strong nation. Since 2008 the Fuller Center for Housing Armenia (FCHA) has supported 822 families to build or renovate their homes. And this success was also possible owing to the generous support of VivaCell-MTS. Once again accept our deepest gratitude and appreciation, Regards, Ashot Yeghiazaryan Families Supported Construction N Region Community Family Members Rroject Type Cost 1 Aragatsotn Davtashen Vardanyan 6 Renovation 1 000 000 2 Aragatsotn Kakavadzor Grigoryan 5 Renovation 1 000 000 3 Aragatsotn N.Bazmaberd Manukyan 6 Renovation 1 000 000 4 Aragatsotn Parpi Knyazyan 3 Half-built 3 500 000 5 Aragatsotn Ashtarak Town
