On September 6, Deputy Prime Minister Hambardzum Matevosyan visited Armavir Province to observe on the spot the progress of the subsidy programs implemented in the region with the means of the state budget, as well as state-community co-financing.
The Deputy Prime Minister was accompanied by Armavir Governor Edvard Hovhannisyan, Head of Etchmiadzin Community Diana Gasparyan, Chairman of the Urban Development Committee Armen Ghularyan, Executive Director of the "Road Department" Foundation Gor Avetisyan, and others.
Hambardzum Matevosyan's first stop was at Tigran Mets and Grigor Lusavorich streets of Etchmiadzin community, where major repair works of the sidewalks are underway. Construction works with a contract value of 136.7 million AMD started on August 9, 2022. According to the program, the sidewalks of the mentioned streets, a total of 1420 meters, will be repaired.
