ARMENIAN TECHNOLOGICAL GROUP OF AMERICA HAS IMPLEMENTED A NUMBER OF HUMANITARIAN PROGRAMS IN NAGORNY KARABAKH SINCE 1995

STEPANAKERT, JANUARY 24. ARMINFO. An Armenian Technological Group of America has implemented a number of humanitarian programs in Nagorny Karabakh since 1995.

According to ARMINFO's correspondent to Stepanakert, the group, in particular, implemented programs "Wheat", "Honey", "Wine", provided vegetables seeds, corn and other to farming economies in NKR. In 1999, the organization started implementation of a program "Farm" (in the territory of the village of Khramort) with the object of stimulating development of wine-growing. Since the greatest part of arable lands in Karabakh is infected with phylloxera, the program first of all pursues a goal of creating phylloxera-stable plants. At present, phylloxera-stable grafts and 20 sorts of grapes are grown in 2,5 ha of lands. The cost of one graft is 600 AMD.
