“We are grateful to diaspora Armenians;
Khanagah
they have done a lot for our region. A considerable
amount of work has been carried out
with funds provided by diaspora Armenians:
schools and medical centers have been renovated
and roads have been constructed. We
do not expect any more financial aid from
the diaspora Armenians. It is enough; they
have helped a lot. Now I would like to invite
them to come to Hadrut when they visit
Armenia and Karabakh. Let them come, see,
and relax,” the head of Hadrut region’s administration
said.
