APARTMENTS FOR THE DEFENSE ARMY OFFICERS

The past week was marked by two important events in the life of Artsakh.

On November 21, 176 officers of the NKR Defense Army celebrated their receipt of the long-awaited apartments in a new building in the Tumanyan Street. The social problems of the servicemen have always been in the focus of attention in the newly established Nagorno Karabakh Republic, and the distribution of apartments is part of the programs. The opening ceremony was attended by NKR President Bako Sahakyan, RA President Serzh Sargsyan, NKR and RA Defense Ministers Levon Mnatsakanyan and Seyran Ohanyan, high-ranking officers of the Armenian armed forces, other officials, and guests. The apartments are ready for dwelling, the heating system installed, the kitchens and bathrooms furnished. The district if fully illuminated. It should be noted that the officers' district in the Tumanian Street differs from the previous ones by several factors. According to architect Sevak Asryan, all the nuances and inconveniences existing in other buildings were taken into consideration. Answering the journalists' question on whether the constructors had managed to fully implement the project, he noted that he couldn’t assess the works as excellent, but they were done well. All entrance doors are metal and encrypted. An underground parking is built, solving two problems at once – the cars will be protected, and the land area will be used for the residents’ leisure. The closed glass pavilion built in the yard solved the issue of the underground car park’s ventilation. The park has also an access to the district center. The project envisages over 60 social services and trade centers, which will make the district's everyday life convenient.
