"I couldn't find a jar of fresh milk in our quarters. It turns out
nobody keeps cows in our quarters anymore. Someone sold, others
slaughtered.
They have to pay a fine for the cow. I couldn't find a jar of fresh
milk for my sick friend," said a woman who lives in Old Armenavan,
a suburb of Stepanakert. "They say they do not allow keeping cows in
Ajapniak either. These people lived on the milk of the cows. Let the
person who made this decision give them money to buy food every day,"
said a man.
Last December the council of Stepanakert decided to forbid keeping
cattle, including pigs, inside the city. Within a month those who
owned cattle had to move the livestock away from the administrative
territory of the city.
Some farmers were fined, who kept their cattle on the suburbs, and
they hurried to rid of the animals because they cost them too high.
The people living on the suburbs think the decision of the City Hall
was meaningless, especially that the domestic animals on the suburb did
not disturb anyone. "The City Hall should struggle against a really
dangerous thing for the citizens. In Armenavan, there is nowhere to
dump the rubbish and they drop the rubbish into the river Karkar. They
somehow bear this but they cannot bear that people earned a little
money," said a man who lives in Armenavan.
