Payment of agricultural loans may be postponed (video)
Today the Government allocated AMD 104 million to Aragatsotn, Armavir, Lori and Kotayk provinces in order to restore the damage caused by the recent days’ floods and hail. Minister of Territorial Administration Davit Lokyan presented to the Government how much money will be allocated to each province and for what purpose, “In Aragatsotn province the roofs of the houses and the roof of the culture house, which were completely blown away by the wind, will be restored. At the demand of the residents, installation of anti-hail stations is intended for the territories, which are considered large agricultural centers. In Armavir province, more than 20 communities lost their resources and again at the demand of the residents, 22 anti-hail stations were allocated to them. In Lori province disruption of communications happened, here 13 million will be allocated in order to restore the normal life.” Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan added that what happened is a big disaster, as the people have lost their sources of income, “People have loans, they expected to get harvest, purvey their harvest and pay off their loans. That’s why at present I ask Mr Javadyan to cooperate and postpone the payments of loans at least by a year.”
