Residents of Ankisur district of Erebuni region haven't had drinking
water for the past 30 years. They walk 1 km to reach the drinking
water fountain and make ends meet with irrigation water.
"My child has problems with his intestines, but the irrigation water
we use is polluted. I use that to wash the dishes and take a shower,"
says Angela Antonyan.
These people use the water from dirty dams as usual, daily water,
but that water is used to irrigate the nearby gardens.
"Let them at least build a fountain or have the tubes reach the
entrance to the district," complained Amalya Sargsyan.
The wives of the district buy water from the nearby district
residents. If the latter don't give the water or set a high price,
the residents of Ankisur use tricks.
"I wait for the rain to fall, collect the water, boil it and use it,
just like Robinson Crusoe," says Hayk Nshanyan.
New families make up the most part of the district's population. That
is why the brides don't have mothers-in-law and why the district is
called Ankisur (no mother-in-laws).
