Village people asked PM Andranik Margaryan many questions, of social character, in particular. An old man wondered why the village hadn’t yet been supplied with irrigation water. Villagers have suffered from drought this year, and have reposed hopes in nature and precipitation.
“Irrigation problem is grave. There isn’t any water. How can we irrigate a whole land by a small river?” , Ararat Province residents complain.
