It seems that the agriculture will be completely ruined by May. As
we know, Serge Sargsyan set this term for Tigran Sargsyan's government.
Sergo Karapetyan, new minister of Agriculture, held a devastating
speech at the National Assembly about the government's policy in the
sphere of agriculture. He proposed a number of sensational measures
the meaning of which is to entitle the Elders' Council to lease those
lands of owners not in the country. Besides, the Minister proposes
cooperating lands and cultivate them by the method of "collective
farms", although not specifying that the Chairman of the "collective
farm" will be the richest.
If the parliament agrees to authorize the disposal of private property,
it would mean a final denial of the country's fundamental principle
of the inviolability of property. This will mean that people will be
taken away their land under the cover of "motivation" of agricultural
production.
What the government will report in May? In words, everything is
brilliant- credit interest will be reduced, and the seeds provided.
But so far none of the commercial bank has said it reduces the
interests on agricultural loans up to 10% promised by the government.
Neither the community has said about a reduction in water tariffs,
on the contrary, it was announced that this year prices will not drop.
The government has not announced a credit and "water" amnesty for
farmers, and failed to persuade commercial companies to invest
in agriculture. On the other hand it has spent millions on trips
to villages, delicious dinners and intelligent conversations. Yes,
even the government will report the fact that the peasants, you see,
do not agree to give their lands to the state. Bad peasants.
The absence of concrete steps indicates either the government's
failure to propose a reasonable plan for reforming the agriculture,
or that the government is just stalling for time until May, when
it will announce the start of the election campaign, or it's going
to once again solve its problems through the impoverished nation,
and not bankers and monopolists, who became kinder.
