АРМЕНИЯ-ПРОГРАММА-США

Программа корпорации "Вызовы тысячелетия", финансируемая правительством США, завершится в Армении 29 сентября, однако не исключено, что она будет продолжена. Об этом сегодня на пресс-конференции в Ереване сообщил директор государственной некоммерческой организации "Вызовы тысячелетия - Армения" Ара Овсепян.

"Общая сумма работ в рамках программы "Вызовы тысячелетия - Армения" составила около $177 млн. В рамках строительных работ $43 млн были

направлены на ремонт 17 насосных станций, 22 млн - на ремонт 6 магистральных каналов общей протяженностью примерно в 40 км, $16 млн

- на ремонт оросительных систем. $20 млн было направлено на ремонт дренажной системы Араратской долины. А  $8 млн было направлено на ремонт самотечных оросительных систем", - сказал Овсепян.

Также он отметил, что приблизительно $33 млн было вложено в программу "От воды к рынку", которая включала компонент льготного кредитования фермерских хозяйств в $8,5 млн и курсы по переподготовке фермеров и эффективному управлению водными ресурсами.

Отметим, что программа "Вызовы тысячелетия - Армения" стартовала в 2006 г. и завершится в сентябре 2011 г. В рамках программы планировалось выделить $235 млн. - помимо указанных проектов, в программе предусматривался и ремонт сельских дорог. В марте 2009 года Совет директоров корпорации "Вызовы тысячелетия", который возглавляла госсекретарь США Хилари Клинтон, решил прекратить финансирование программы восстановления сельских дорог в Армении

Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenco wrote on social media: "The enemy terrorizes our people across the country every day"  The BBC says it is very rare for Russian missiles and drones to hit right in the city centre like this, because of the concentration of air defence in the area.
