ArmInfo. Cheese factory in the  Mastara community of Aragatsotn region plans to expand production. As  a result of the investment program, a double increase in jobs is  expected - up to 28. This was reported to the Prime Minister of  Armenia Karen Karapetyan on September 14 during his visit to  Aragatsotn and Shirak.

As the press service of the government reports, the enterprise, which  produces a wide range of cheeses for about 20 years, plans to  increase the volume of milk purchased two or three times within the  expansion program. The prime minister greeted the implementation of  the investment program and called for discussion with the Ministry of  Economic Development and Investment, noting that the government has  the necessary tools for assistance.

Karen Karapetyan also visited the opening ceremony of the Aghavni  Crafts Center in Gyumri, which will open its doors from the next  academic year. The project was implemented with the assistance of the  "Oundjian" charitable foundation, which for the past 20 years has  invested about 7 million USD in various projects in Gyumri.

Then the head of the Armenian fireplace visited the course of works  on the overhaul of the Rustaveli street in Gyumri, implemented as  part of the development program of the historical center of Kumayri.

To note, the amount necessary for the restoration of the Kumayri  complex is $ 200 million, so a decision was made on the phased  implementation of the program, which will begin with the restoration  of the Gyumri streets Rustaveli and Shiraz. Before the start of the  project, a corresponding fund was created, and a manager was  appointed. The first contributor to the fund was Karen Karapetyan  donating 500 thousand dollars. In the investment program, in addition  to the restoration of the Kumayri reserve, the plan for the  reconstruction of the Shirak airport is also included. An investor  from Argentina will undertake the implementation of the project worth  10-million.
