Infrastructure

In 2012 the World Bank funded a road improvement in the area.[1] Also in 2012, the Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan visited the area to see irrigation infrastructure works. The Irrigation System Rehabilitation Works are partly funded by the World Bank.[2]

Noravan forest

There have been accusations that Noravan forest was sold by the regional administration to corrupt officials in a sham auction, without informing the people who formerly rented the land.[3] The buyers then resold the land for a substantial profit.[4]

gollark: Exactly!
gollark: I generally consider group violence a bad thing to be avoided.
gollark: I don't think that would work:- people would *obviously* try and represent themselves as cooperative when they aren't- just having 150 representatives a level probably won't help because you are not communicating with these people outside of... representative duties
gollark: That means you still need to work out resource allocation/conflict resolution for the larger-scale things.
gollark: Anyway. People can probably work together in self-organizing small groups using social mechanisms, sure. *But* you're limited to Dunbar's number - about 150 people - and larger scale coordination than that is necessary.
