During today’s government session, Advisor to the Prime Minister of Armenia Robert Ghukasyan stated that the residents of the borderline settlements of Syunik Province have problems with farming and cattle-raising.

Ghukasyan noted that people used to farm and raise cattle in wider spaces, but they don’t have the opportunity to do that now. “This is especially a problem in Vorotan, which has a very small district. The government is working with the Ministry of Economy and will provide solutions for greenhouse economies, intensive gardens and smart cattle barns. I’ll present the final solutions during the next government session,” he said, adding that demining has already begun since the season for farming is approaching.

In his turn, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that the specific actions will help the residents of Syunik Province feel that the government supports them.
