According to the information from the Gegharqounik regional department
of «Armhydromet», the last rain in Gegharqounik fell about 40 days
ago. The lasting drought has caused a damage of about 47 billion AMD.

The corn is mown as grass, and the crops of wheat and potato are in
serious danger.

For the last seven years about 400 thousand tons of grass was stored
annually. This year only 30% of the total sum will be stored.

The agronomists mention that even if it rains now, it will be of no
help for the crops.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
