50 farming businesses in Syunik unable to access their lands due to Azeri incursions

YEREVAN, MAY 29, ARMENPRESS. 50 farming businesses in the Tegh village of Syunik Province are unable to access their own lands because of the Azerbaijani military incursions. The lands are in the areas invaded by the Azeri military, as well as where the Armenian military are deployed and carrying out engineering work, Syunik Governor Robert Ghukasyan has said.

“When the equipping work of positions get completed it will be possible to exactly record the agricultural damage in order to be able to compensate in the future. Overall, 50 businesses are unable to access their lands,” he said.

The problem mostly exists in Tegh village.

Speaking about the general situation in Syunik province, Ghukasyan said the situation is tense and uncertain. But despite this, residents don’t intend to leave their homes.

The population of the province hasn’t changed after the 2020 war, and in some cases those who had left for unrelated reasons have returned.
