Thus, during construction, the Project will temporarily use 0.1ha land, and this land will become usable for the community again being reinstated after completion of construction works, without any restriction of land use or access. Temporary access will be provided during construction to ensure continued mobility of livestock and herders. No part of the pipelines will pass through private land or through lands used by illegal users. This was checked and verified via the community cadastral map and field surveys. As the construction activities will be carried out in the remote pastures, in the outskirts of the village, there is no need for a temporary closure of roads, and as there are no private houses nearby, no temporary disturbance to residents may occur during the construction activities. The natural relief and landscape will be recovered after construction works.

  • Prevalence and Determinants of Stunting in a Conflict-Ridden Border Region in Armenia - a Cross-Sectional Study Arin A
    A. Balalian et al. BMC Nutrition (2017) 3:85 DOI 10.1186/s40795-017-0204-9 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Prevalence and determinants of stunting in a conflict-ridden border region in Armenia - a cross-sectional study Arin A. Balalian1,2*, Hambardzum Simonyan1, Kim Hekimian3, Richard J. Deckelbaum3 and Aelita Sargsyan1 Abstract Background: Despite global efforts, stunting remains a public health problem in several developing countries. The prevalence of stunting among 0- to 5-year-old children in Armenia has increased from 17% in 2000 to 19% in 2010. A baseline study was conducted among preschool children in Berd, a region near the northeastern border of Armenia that has experienced intermittent military tension for over 20 years. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study including 594 children aged 6-month- 6 years old and their caregivers in our analysis, to assess the prevalence and determinants of stunting. We calculated the anthropometric measurements and hemoglobin levels of children; analyzed children’s stool and conducted a survey with children’scaregivers.We employed the hierarchical logistic regression model to explore the predictors of stunting among 25–72 months old children and multivariable logistic regression models to investigate the predictors of stunting among 6–24 months old children. Individual and residence level variables were included in the models including anemia, minimum dietary diversity, mothers’ height, the overall duration of breastfeeding, birthweight, child’s history of diarrhea and mean socio-economic score. Results: The prevalence of stunting was significantly higher among the 6–24 months old children (13.3%) compared to the children aged 25–72 months old (7.8%).

During this period, the armed forces of the Republic of Armenia continued intensive fire from their positions in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan and from the territory of Armenia at the positions of the armed forces of Azerbaijan. As a result, one Azerbaijani serviceman, Akif Bakhshiyev, was killed, and three servicemen were wounded. I would like to reiterate my Government’s strong condemnation of the incessant attempts by Armenia to escalate the situation on the front line and its attacks against populated areas and civilian objects. Azerbaijan will continue to take resolute measures in response to Armenia’s ongoing aggression, violations of the ceasefire and other provocative acts. I should be grateful if you would have the present letter and its annex circulated as a document of the General Assembly, under agenda items 34 and 38, and of the Security Council.
