Prime Minister Ara Harutiunyan took part in the annual meeting of
the community council of the village of Khnapat, Askeran region,
the department of information and public relations of the government
reports.

The head of the community Samvel Shahramanyan reported that in the
village with a population of 1000 only 10 children were born last
year. The school has 145 students, which is the lowest over the past
20 years. The number of single young people has already gone up.

Although the village has enough resources to solve a number of problems
the people of the village prefer to leave it. The economic situation
is bad. The government had provided 3.5 million drams on which 155
hectares of wheat was sown, but the area under crop has been reduced.

The prime minister said it is unacceptable that even the irrigated
land is not worked. He called the people of Khnapat to become involved
in different agricultural programs.

Besides, Ara Harutiunyan criticized the fact that such a big community
exists on subsidies, and does not use its potential for development.
