Prime minister Ara Harutiunyan visited Martuni and held a meeting of
the regional administration, the department of information and public
relations of the NKR government reports. It became known that the
urgent problems of water supply, roads, gas, nursery schools and
shortage of agronomists persist. The prime minister said the government
has made considerable assignments to address these problems.
It was mentioned that 143 million drams of government loans have not
been repaid, and repayment is too slow. `If the debtors are former and
present officials, the law enforcement agencies will deal with them,
and we will take measures,’ Ara Harutiunyan said.
The prime minister emphasized that the growth of income of communities
by 1-2 percent is too low with a 35 percent growth of the state budget
receipts. Area under arable crops is down by 7 thousand hectares
compared with last year. Some farmers let the soil rest, others think
wheat is not profitable. `Farmers who breach regulations will not get
government assistance,’ Ara Harutiunyan said.
Government assistance is loans, fertilizers at lower price, in-kind
assistance, and so on.
