YEREVAN, JUNE 29, ARMENPRESS: Armenian agricultural minister David
Lokian traveled the other day through the province of Aragatsotn
parts of which were hit heavily a few days before by a strong hail.
The minister first visited several villages in Aparan and Aragats
regions of the province and spoke to farmers to learn their problems
and then headed for Tsakhkahovit which sustained the heaviest losses
and where the hail is believed to destroy around 60 percent of
wheat crops.
Farmers complained about poor supply of irrigation and drinking water,
roads with potholes, inaccessibility of natural gas. The minister
said he would give instructions to examine the raised problems and
offer proposals how to eliminate them.
