Armenians raise money for construction of road from Armenia to Karabakh via Kelbajar
The leader of Karabakh separatists Bako Sahakyan continues to tour the countries, where the Armenian Diaspora lives, to raise funds for the Hayastan Fund. On November 28 in Los Angeles a telethon was held, which raised $ 22.6 million. These funds will be used for construction of a road Vardenis - Mardakert, 115 km.
It would connect the north-eastern regions of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh through Kelbajar.
With the commissioning of this route, the road from Armenia to Karabakh will be reduced twice. Currently, from Armenia to Karabakh there is only one road through Lachin.
The new road will be of great military importance and could become an alternative route for the transfer of forces and facilities to the region of military fighting. However, apart from the road they should restore 16 bridges. Currently, the state of the road is bad and it is difficult to drive. -02D-
