Residents of the rural community Mrgashat in Armavir marz are ready to
block the Yerevan-Armavir highway if water supply to the village does
not resume by tomorrowafternoon, several disgruntled village residents
informed Epress.am today.
Speaking to the Epress.am correspondent, village resident and Council
of Elders member Tatul Soghomonyan said it's been 15 days that the
water has been cut off in his village.
"It's been 5 days since we planted the grains given by the government
and they have received not a single drop of water; if you don't water
them, the entire crop goes to the crows," he said.
Soghomonyan claims that Jrar, the company that supplies water to
Armavir marz, responding to the residents' request for explanation,
said that water is distributed for three days at a time to the
province's different communities and it just isn't their turn yet.
"Five 3-days have already passed; we are waiting. Today I was forced
to call the government hotline and warn them that we're taking drastic
measures. They said they will respond at the end of the meeting, then
they said we'll have water by 12 pm tomorrow. We've waited this long;
we'll manage one more day. If it turns out to be a lie, we know what
we're going to do," he concluded.
