YEREVAN, JUNE 6, NOYAN TAPAN. At the June 6 sitting, the Armenian
government made a decision to allocate funds from the state budget
with the aim of assisting the population that suffered from spring
floods. The Deputy Minister of the Territorial Governance Vatche
Terterian told reporters that under the decision a total of 75 million
drams (about 214 thousand USD) has been allocated from the state
budget for partial assistance of households of Ararat, Aragatsotn,
Gegharkunik, Kotayk and Tavush marzes, including 200 thousand drams to
Aragatsotn marz where the damage done was not considerable, 1.4 mln
drams – to Ararat marz, 45 mln drams – to Gegharkunik marz, 14.7 mln
drams – to Kotayk marz and 7 mln drams – to Tavush marz.

V. Terterian said that this sum does not cover those farms, to which
the government will show a special attitude. According to him, the
destroyed state and community roads must be inventoried in order to
determine the total amount of damage.
