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.
