It is very important that this project progresses successfully and that we can implement a model of a 21st-century village, bringing a new urban culture that aligns with our current expectations and requirements,” he stated.

The Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure, Gnel Sanosyan, also indicated that the design phase of the Kaps Reservoir construction project has already been completed and that the construction company will soon receive an advance payment from the government.
