Babies were last born four years ago in Vanek rural community of
Syunik province, the community head Samvel Arakelian told “Zhoghovurd”
newspaper.
The situation is similar in the neighboring village of Ltsen. 40
people, including 11 schoolchildren, live in Vanek now. “It was four
years ago that a baby was born in our village. I have a livestock
farm. I brought two families here and gave them jobs in order to
maintain the village. Most of the village residents are refugees,”
Arakelian said. In his words, the number of ageing residents exceeds
that of young people in the community.
