Nor Giligia

What is the “Nor Giligia” Project

PictureThe small villages through-out Armenia and Nagorno-Karabagh (Artsakh) are in need of assistance. Especially vulnerable—and essential for the integrity and security of both Armenia and Artsakh—are many border villages. Most have only limited resources and are already sparsely populated and will continue to lose their population without help.

These border villages can ultimately be the difference between success and failure, and even life and death.

In consultation with high-level officials of the government of Artsakh, the Catholicosate of Cilicia agreed to renovate and revitalize the border village of Nor Khazan in Artsakh, which will be renamed Nor Giligia. This project requires the building of houses, roads, schools, hospitals and other infrastructure improvements. It also requires strengthening the economic outlook and providing agricultural and industrial opportunities.

The Catholicosate is partnering with the government of Artsakh in this project. The government will provide the improvements to the infrastructure including roads, water, electricity, gas and other essentials. The Holy See of Cilicia and its prelacies will sponsor the building of new homes and communal structures.

Nor Giligia is located in the Martakert district, north of Stepanagert, near the border and is currently home to about 22 families. The master plan calls for the building of 60 new homes, as well as schools, medical center, church and meeting hall. An exterior and interior of an existing school has already been totally renovated by the Prelacy of Cyprus.

Briefly stated, the prime purpose of this project is to make life livable, and give hope for a brighter future so that current inhabitants will remain on the land and new families will be attracted to the area.

Each of the prelacies under the jurisdiction of the Great House of Cilicia will undertake a portion of the financial responsibilities of this vital project. His Holiness Aram I has designated qualified individuals to supervise the project and bring it to a successful conclusion.

In this initial phase, the Eastern Prelacy has agreed to sponsor four houses at an approximate cost of $35,000 per house. Each house is 700 square feet, and can be easily enlarged in the future.

We can make Nor Giligia a model village for other villages.
We can strengthen our nation, village by village.
We can help the villagers remain on the land.
We have a responsibility; let us do it now.
