First deputy prime minister of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan visited Bambakashat, Mrgashat, Alashkert and other communities of Armavir province which have been greatly affected by the recent hail and storm.

“We are confident that the government should not leave the farmers alone in mitigating the consequences of this disaster. Tomorrow the assessment works will launch after which the government will discuss the amount of possible assistance to be provided to farms. At the same time systematic solutions are necessary, and we will consistently work to have insurance systems for farms, effective anti-hail stations, anti-hail networks already next year”, the first deputy PM said on Facebook.

“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
