First of all it has created new opportunities to more effectively use the agricultural potential of Armenia,” stated Republican MP Gagik Melikyan in National Assembly session.

Large-scale activities have been carried out to reconstruct rural roads; much has been done in irrigation infrastructure. Similar activities used to be held 20 years ago, in the aftermath of which the issue of irrigation has become of top priority for the inhabitants of rural communities.

This program was really very important for our economy. And I find it necessary to put forth efforts to keep the program signifying the processing, storage and distribution of the agricultural stuff,” reads the statement.
