13:18 - 20.05.13
Residents of a number of villages of Armavir - Shenavan, Mrgashat,
Arevik, - have closed Yerevan-Armavir road.
They said they do not want to listen to the deputy ministers of
agriculture and demand either PM Tigran Sargsyan visit them or
President Serzh Sargsyan. Speaking to Tert.am on phone, Haykavan
village governor Mamikon Gevorgyan confirmed the information and said
`the situation is mixed up.'
The governor of the village said their community is one of those that
suffered 100% damage from May 12 hail.
Governor of Shenavan Arthur Lazarian said their village too suffered
100% damage. They have lost 4,000 tons of apricot and 3,000 tons of
grape.
`We have clearly presented the issues. They have promised to respond.
The province's governor came and saw on his own that nothing exists
any morw,' the village governor said.
Lazarian said, the 90% of the village residents sow the harvest by
taking loans. `There is a family of five members and five of them took
loans. The harvest was all they had,' he said.
Mrgashat village was also mixed up with the village governor not able
to speak on the phone because of the noise. Harutyun Chvchyan, head of
Berkashat community which too has been entirely damaged, said their
village does not participate in the action. `What's the sense of
closing the road?' he asked.
