The Armenian government plans to complete the housing project, in the areas hit by a devastating earthquake in 1988, in 2015-2016, Minister of Urban Development Narek Sargsyan announced in the parliament on Tuesday.
Residents of Gyumri city, whose homes were destroyed by the earthquake, will be provided with houses by late 2015. The housing problem in the villages of Shirak and Lori provinces will be resolved by the end of 2016.
