Armenian MP speaks of agricultural problems
18:30 - 17.05.13
Lyeva Khachatryan, a Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) parliamentary
group member, who regularly raises agricultural problems in Armenia's
Parliament, cannot explain why 102 anti-hail stations will be
installed in the Armavir region, while the harvest will be completely
destroyed in some villages.
`This is not for the first time that anti-hail stations have failed
and people lose their harvest. Two years ago the village of Karbin
lost 40,000 tons of apples,' Khachatryan said.
This practice may be part of the Armenian government's policy to
stimulate emigration.
The only explanation, according to Khachatryan, is either Armenia has
no ministry of agriculture or the ministry `is doing its own way.'
The Ministry of Agriculture is among the few ministries that are not
so corrupt, he said.
Khachatryan does not regard as serious the `Support to Armavir
residents action group'.
Armenia's government normally supports socially vulnerable sections of
Armenia's rural population, he said ironically and added: `Hardly had
the fire at the Spayka Company been extinguished when the government
decided to help it!'
