    Fertile lands of Yeghvard left without irrigation for 20 years

    Residents of the town of Yeghvard, Kotayk province, are facing
    irrigation water issue for 200 hectares of gardens for already 20
    years.

    A resident Rafik Baghdasaryan says that this part of the town last
    time saw water during the Soviet Years. Afterwards, the whole system
    was destroyed, water pipelines ruined.

    He said these lands were the most fertile ones in the area. `Golden
    lands have remained without irrigation. I have a garden here taking
    water with cisterns, growing products with great difficulty,' he said.

    Rafik Baghdasaryan said no one is trying to solve the issue. `It is a
    very important issue, it is a solvable issue, it does not demand huge
    sums, if the mayor finances the issue will be solved and we will have
    water in spring,' he stressed.

    The lands of the all territory are privatized and belong to the
    residents of Yeghvard.
