Layihə rəhbəri: Əli Əhmədov Azərbaycan Respublikası Baş nazirinin müavini, Yeni Azərbaycan Partiyası sədrinin müavini və partiyanın İcra katibi, professor Əziz Ələkbərli. Qərbi Azərbaycanda soyqırımına məruz qalmış toponimlərimiz. Bakı, “Elm və təhsil”, 2020, 96 səh. Kitabda Azərbaycanın tarixi torpaqları olan Qərbi Azərbaycan (indiki Ermənistan) ərazisində ermənilər tərəfindən adı dəyişdirilmiş 953 toponimin siyahısı verilmişdir. ISBN 978-9952-83-599-1 © Əziz Ələkbərli, 2020 İndiki Ermənistan Respublikasının ərazisi qədim Azərbaycan torpağıdır. Bu, tarixi faktdır. Heç uzağa getmək lazım deyil. XX əsrin əvvəllərində çar Rusiyası tərəfindən dərc edilmiş xəritələrə baxmaq kifayətdir. Hər kəs görər ki, indiki Ermənistanın bütün ərazisindəki toponimlərin, demək olar ki, mütləq əksəriyyəti Azərbaycan mənşəlidir. Mən xahiş edirəm, bizim alimlərimiz bunu dərc etsinlər ki, hər kəs görsün.

XIX yüzilin əvvəllərində çar Rusiyasının Cənubi Qaf- qazı işğalından sonra İran və Türkiyədən çoxlu sayda erməni Azərbaycan torpaqlarına, xüsusilə İrəvan, Naxçıvan və Qara- bağ xanlıqları ərazisinə köçürüldü.

    FACILITY RESOURCE ASSESSMENT BASELINE ASSESSMENT OF TARGETED PRIMARY HEALTH CARE FACILITIES IN KOTAYK, TAVUSH, AND GEGHARKUNIK MARZES 2007 DISCLAIMER This publication is made possible by the support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). It was prepared by the Primary Health Care Reform (PHCR) Project, Armenia. The author’s views expressed in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views of the USAID or the United States Government. Preface The Primary Healthcare Reform (PHCR) project is a nationwide five-year (2005-2010) program funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under a contract awarded to Emerging Markets Group, Ltd. (EMG) in September 2005. The PHCR’s primary objective is the increased utilization of sustainable, high-quality primary healthcare services leading to the improved health of Armenian families. This objective is operationalized by supporting the Ministry of Health (MoH) to implement a package of six interventions that links policy reform with service delivery so that each informs the other generating synergistic effects. These six interventions address healthcare reforms and policy support (including renovation and equipping of facilities); open enrollment; family medicine; quality of care; healthcare finance; and public education, health promotion and disease prevention. “What impact are these interventions having?” is a question frequently asked but less frequently funded. Fortunately, provision was made in the PHCR project to address the “impact” question. PHCR developed a set of six tools to monitor progress and evaluate results. Three of these tools are facility-based and are designed to assess changes through a pre-test and post-test methodology at 164 primary healthcare facilities and their referral facilities.

First part is the east side of Kasakh River before Arzni-shamiram canal crossing the Kasakh River, which area irrigated by Arzni-shamiram canal. And the second part is the west side of Kasakh River after Lower Hrazdan canal passing the Kasakh River, which are irrigated by Lower Hrazdan canal. The Ranchpar pump station consists of two (2) pumps; i.e. No.1 in Ararat Marz and No.2 in Armavir Marz. The station No.1 lifts up the collected drain water near lower part of Hrazdan River to pump station No.2, and lifted water is distributed to Lower Hrazdan canal through the No.2. These pump stations are operated by Water Supply Agency (WSA). Table 4-4-1.1 lists the cultivated crops and those area under current irrigation plan. Those areas are located in Yeghvard WUA in Kotayk Marz, Ashrarak WUA in Aragatsotn and Armabvir Marzes, Vagharshapat WUA in Armavir Marz, and Khoy WUA in Armavir Marz respectively.
