DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR 50 BORDER VILLAGES WILL BE LAUNCHED IN LATE MAY
The program for development of rural communities of Armenia, namely 50 border villages, which was the main topic of the third Armenia-Diaspora Conference, will be launched late in May, said the foreign minister of Armenia Vardan Oskanyan, who took part in the conference on rural development held by the UNDP on March 30. He said without the development of rural communities the development of Yerevan is not enough for an overall sustainable development.
In this context, Vardan Oskanyan underlined the development of 50 rural communities. According to him, there were 40 pledges from the participants of the Armenia-Diaspora conference, and the pledges are still valid, and there is contact with these people and organizations, and the program will be launched late in May. Vardan Oskanyan says it is not related to the parliamentary election. Simply this is the schedule.
The foreign minister also informed that the first few villages where a pilot project will be implemented have been chosen. It does not mean the program will be suspended in case of failure. It is intended for modeling for the others. The development program will last for 3-5 years for the other villages, the pilot project will be implemented very fast. Vardan Oskanyan declined to mention these villages not to give them false hope, he said, which means the hopes for this program may turn out to be false.

- 1920 Lenin chairs a meeting of the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party on the political question of Armenia and Georgia.
- 1991 The USSR Constitutional Oversight Committee deems unconstitutional the Supreme Soviets decision to create a Republic Organizational Committee in Soviet Azerbaijan headed by Viktor Polianichko (on 1990 01 15) in Artsakh as well as the 1991 11 23 decision by Azerbaijani President Mutalibov to dissolve the Nagorno Gharabagh Autonomous Region. It also revoked the reunification decision taken by Armenia and Artsakh on 1989 12 01. It does not annul the decision (1991 09 02) of the Nagorno Karabagh District Councils (including the Shahumian district) on the establishment of the Republic of Nagorno Karabagh. That decision was deemed in compliance with the then existing law of 1990 04 03 on the Procedure of Secession of a Soviet Republic from the USSR.
