Armenpress

KAPAN, JULY 7, ARMENPRESS: Authorities in Armenian provinces
claim multi-billion damages (in Armenian drams) sustained to their
agricultures by a long string of very hot and dry days in late June
and early July.

Thus authorities in the southern province of Syunik have calculated
that the volume of damages in their province is over 4 billion
Armenian Drams. They say wheat was destroyed on 22,000 hectares out
of 27,000 hectares of land under that crop. The most affected areas
are in Sisian region where they say nearly 90 percent of wheat was
destroyed, in Goris region 60 percent of wheat and in Kapan and Meghri
almost half of it were destroyed.

Though the province saw several days of heavy rains but they could
hardly improve the situation concerning wheat planting, though they
are very good for vegetables. A team of experts from the agriculture
ministry will travel to the province to calculate the amount of
damages on the ground.

Emil Lazarian: “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
