PM Attends Builder’s Day Event
Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan attended a Builder’s Day-dedicated gala event, which was held in the conference hall of the Government.
On behalf of the Government and himself, the Prime Minister congratulated Armenian builders on their professional holiday and wished them every success and inexhaustible energy.
Hovik Abrahamyan noted that the construction sector has a special treat in Armenia and it is no coincidence that following the reinstatement of independence, the Republic of Armenia readopted the Builder’s Day as a holiday. It has become a tradition to reaffirm that construction has always been and remains a key sector of our economy.
“By combining last century’s outstanding masters’ skills and experience on the one hand, and modern construction technology on the other, you are erecting building that are more earthquake-resistant and of higher quality. I am pleased to note that following on the rich tradition, the Armenian modern construction industry keeps on making buildings we are truly proud of. You have developed new construction technologies in the newly independent Armenia, which guarantee the durability of our buildings,” Hovik Abrahamyan said.
Noting that Armenian engineers used to build event in difficult times, the Prime Minister expressed conviction that our builders will continue to work with the same love and enthusiasm, bearing in mind that not only do they lay stone over stone, but they also hand over values and traditions.
The Prime Minister stressed that the Government is making efforts to develop new projects and programs aimed at propelling the construction industry, supporting the developers through incentive mechanisms to provide mortgages.
“New construction projects are coming in - Old Yerevan, Firdusi District - as well as several regional projects in infrastructure, education, healthcare, culture, sports and other spheres,” Hovik Abrahamyan said.
On Builder’s Day and for significant contributions to urban development, Prime Minister’s commemorative medal was awarded to honorary member of the Association of Constructors of Armenia Vladimir Margaryan and Director of Yerevanshin Company Vazgen Poghosyan.
Prime Minister’s diplomas were handed to Gohar LLC Director Samvel Khachatryan, chairman of Board of Metroshinveranorogum Aramayis Vorskanyan and Chief Project Designer Paul Chatalbashyan.
