Sign Petition To Save Kashatagh ( Lachin )


Recommended Posts

Dear fellow Armenians,

As you read these lines the Armenians in the liberated region of Kashatagh (Lachin) desperately need our immediate help.

After the war in Nagorno-Karabakh came to an end, local officials in Armenia and Artsakh called for Armenians to move to Kashatagh and made promises of aid and assistance to all those who heeded the call. Today those promises have not been kept.

As a result, living conditions in Kashatagh are bad and getting worse. Armenians who moved into the region are now leaving. If the situation persists, this strategically vital corridor that links Armenia with Nagorno-Karabakh will be emptied of any meaningful Armenian presence.

Armenians in the diaspora cannot remain silent when faced with this unfortunate reality. We need to forcefully voice our concerns and demand an adequate degree of accountability from those responsible for this sorry state of affairs.

The word must be spread far and wide that all concerned Armenians will no longer tolerate BUSINESS AS USUAL when it comes to assisting our compatriots in Kashatagh and Artsakh. They feel neglected and betrayed by their local officials. We must show them that they do not stand alone.

To publicize the gravity of the situation we have created a new website: .com"]http://www.kashatagh.com

It includes pertinent background information regarding Kashatagh and links to current news sources covering the region.

More importantly, we have posted an ON-LINE PETITION in the website addressed to the presidents of both the Republic of Armenian and the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. The petition calls on these officials to immediately take all possible measures to rectify the problems faced by the Armenians in Kashatagh.

We ask that you circulate news of this new website in order that we collect as many petition signatures as possible.

Collectively, we can make a difference in the lives of the residents of Kashatagh.

Sincerely,

Coalition In Support Of Kashatagh

Part 2

Here is draft plan for the development and further work.

A company in Kashatagh (Lachin) will deal with the development of software, web-applications, web sites, etc.

Business Coalition of Kashatagh – a support group that should use it's knowledge, and experience to receive / offer projects for Kashatagh

There are currently no advanced programmers in Kashatagh.

In order to create an IT Company in Kashatagh it is necessary to

-with the lack of advanced specialists

-to immediately begin work on a commercial project

-to deliver profit to shareholders after the end of the first project

The following two tactical ways should be used:

First

Qualified specialists from Yerevan should be invited to carry out the project as well as train personnel in Kashatagh

Second

It is necessary to contact and make agreements with major IT companies and become partners in developing Kashatagh orders. Actually joint work will help improve the professional level of the Kashatagh Company. When the personnel's professional level improves the partnership already established with major IT companies will provide an opportunity to receive orders from them both for joint work and development of Kashatagh Company.

For 90% of projects the completion period is not more than 3-4 months. No serious big projects are likely to be ordered until small projects are completed successfully. In case invited programmers are available as well as partnerships with major IT companies are reached, it will be possible to receive large projects. If projects are successfully completed the quantity and price of future projects will easily increase.

It will be necessary to gather people with computer skills in Kashatagh and start training them within the framework of cooperation with invited programmers.

To offer an average salary of 120 000 AMD.

To invite programmers from Yerevan with the salary range of 300 000 -400 000 AMD.

Internet marketing and project management is to be done by members of the support group with the knowledge of foreign languages.

A location in Kashatagh is needed for:

- programmers' office

- accommodating invited programmers

The location should be reconstructed before the winter frosts. Computer equipment and furniture needs to be bought.

Karabakh Telecom has offices in Kashatagh which allows for internet in the office.

Your participation in business Coalition of Kashatagh is needed for:

1. working out the business plan

2. raising capital

3. internet marketing

4. receiving orders

5. project management – mediation between customers and programmers

6. Your participation may be trough internet. Your physical presence in Kashatagh is not needed.
