The population of Movses, a border village in Armenia's Tavush region,
is growing less and less as a result of the Azerbaijani army's
periodical armed attack, the paper has learned.
In the past 15 years, 500 residents, mostly young people, left Movses,
it says, citing the village's governor. The village is said to be
predominantly populated by the elderly, with the children's number
being no more than 32. In a phone conversation with the paper, the
residents of Movses complained that a representative of the Prosperous
Armenia party's (PAP) regional organization, Nina Adamyan,
discriminates between the PAP and non-PAP members, providing the
village's tractor (which is a gift by the Gagik Tsarukyan charity
foundation) only to those affiliated with the party.
