We have been informed by the RA Government that yesterday Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan, accompanied by RA Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan, Minister of Territorial Administration and Emergency Situations Armen Yeritsyan, Chief of Staff of the RA Armed Forces Yuri Khachaturov, and Governor of Tavush Region Hovik Abovyan, visited borderline communities of Tavush Region where he got familiar with the situation at the borderline.
The first village they visited was Paravakar. During his meeting with the villagers, Hovik Abrahamyan spoke about the tension at the border and the many cases of borderline violation. He also stated that RA authorities are always with the residents and had come there to get familiar with their problems on the spot. According to Hovik Abrahamyan, the Government tries to support the residents and give solutions to their problems by giving them different economic and tax privileges. After listening to the villagers’ various requests, the Prime Minister promised to discuss them in the Government.
Next, Hovik Abrahamyan stopped at the Sevqar village. The residents assured him that there was no panic because of the ceasefire violations. The Head of the Sevkar community thanked the Prime Minister on behalf of its members for rebuilding the House of Culture and the pipeline. The Prime Minister informed them that the reconstruction of the Sevkar School was about to commence soon.
The next community where Hovik Abrahamyan stopped was Koti. The villagers thanked the PM for visiting them during these difficult times, assuring the delegation that, as always, they were in good humor. They spoke about the need of firewood, their inability to cultivate the 27 hectares of wheat fields due to the shots, as well as students’ tuition fees. The PM promised to provide them with funds for firewood as well as a compensation for the wheat fields. He also instructed the head of the community to prepare a list of students from Koti so that the Government could give a solution to that problem as well.
The Head of the Government thanked the residents of borderline communities for keeping their spirits high as ever and emphasized that the RA authorities, including the President, stood by their side and that they were constantly paying close attention to the problems in that area.
