Nikol Pashinyan: Do not you vote electronically? Well, work as you know. (video)
Today's session of the government, which for the first time was led by the newly elected prime minister Nikol Pashinyan, was open. He started his first session with agriculture. "I hope you have good working mood. There has been a hail incident in Armavir region, what has been done?" Acting Minister of Agriculture Ignati Arakelyan reported that the relevant staff had been sent to the region to get information and fix the damage. Nikol Pashinyan inquired what the government's actions were usually in such situations. "The land tax and the water tax has been compensated, there was nothing more," said the Acting Minister. The Prime Minister mentioned that they will definitely return to this topic, as, according to him, the support should be essential rather than formal. "Why cannot we influence the anti-hail system?" Acting Minister of Emergency Situations Davit Tonoyan mentioned that these territories were out of their fields. "Anti-hail systems only cover 15 percent of the territories. A new pilot program should be introduced that would arrive from Russia. Over two years, thanks to that program, 70 percent of the territories will be closed. " "We should again return to this issue after the formation of a new government," Nikol Pashinyan said. At the meeting, the prime minister also noticed technical problems. "Do not you vote electronically? Well, work as you know, then we will change. And, as far as I know, there is no abstaining during the government session."
