ARKA
June 13, 2008
YEREVAN, June 13. /ARKA/. Armenian Agricultural Ministry is assessing
the hail-caused damage which Armenian farmers have suffered recently,
Armenian Agriculture Minister Aramayis Grigoryan has said. The minister
said 20-22 villages in the region of Ararat have suffered most from
the hail.
The government has set up a task force from the representatives of
the ministries of territorial administration and agriculture, as well
as the regional administration of Ararat, to specify the size of the
damage and submit a package of proposals to the government.
However, Grigoryan said, the damage is not too big to tell upon the
harvest since only several communities have been affected.
