Armenian Government has decided to allocate 17,9 million drams for those provinces whose territories aren’t fit for exploitation. Deputy Territorial Governing Minister Kamo Areyan said at today’s briefing.

This amount had to flow into the provincial communities’ budgets from land taxes. Besides, these provinces’ residents are given the right to exchange their plots of land for better ones.

The Deputy Minister said there are still 49 similar communities in Armenia. Areas belonged to some provinces are in need of mine-sniffing works. Armenian Defence Ministry has already engaged in this problem solution and is carrying out the works on ridding of mines.

Kamo Areyan also said to gauge the damage caused by spring flood commissions are set. Preliminary assessment says the damage amounted to 1,5 billion drams.
