Subsequent phases included Berdashen, Ashan, Norshen, Haci, Avdur, Myurishen and Kagharc communities in Martuni region; Vardadzor, Chankatagh, Kichan, Shahmasur communities in Martakert region; and Sarnakhbyur, Ughtasar communities in Askeran region. During this period we have collaborated with Armenian “Development Principles” NGO, “Armenia” All-Armenian Fund and international, American The Armenian Missionary Association of America (AMAA) and French “Elevages sans Frontieres” (ESF)) organizations”, said the head of the organization and added that for the first time this year the organization has received state financing.

I believe that our cooperation with the state sector will be consistent, since the results are tangilbe.” Taron Hakobyan concluded.
