    PROBLEMS ON THE AGENDA

    Azat Artsakh - Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR)
    06 Oct 04

    The questions discussed at the meeting of the regional council of
    Hadrout mainly referred to the preparation works for winter
    tillage. The chairman of the meeting was the head of the regional
    administration V. Gevorgian. In 2003 the harvest was good in the
    region, allowing to increase the area under crop next year from 4902
    to 8495 hectares. However, the estimates of the farmers for 2004 did
    not come true because of unfavourable weather and pests. The average
    yield per hectare totaled 1.4 tons, the overall yield was 11 262 tons
    decreasing by 2000 tons against the previous year. These rates were
    presented by the head of the department of agriculture of the regional
    administration L. Abrahamian, who added that this year they expect to
    do 7000-8000 hectares of winter tillage. By September 30 only 5600
    hectares has been tilled which means that less area will be used for
    arable crops this year. During the meeting the department of
    agriculture, the heads of the communities were charged with taking
    corresponding measures for completing the tillage, holding a
    laboratory test of the seeds, providing the use of chemicals. The
    members of the regional council made the decision of addressing the
    NKR government with the request of providing aid to the farmers whose
    fields were damaged by natural disasters. At the same time it was
    mentioned that it would be convenient to provide the aid in the form
    of loans. Also the question was raised to implement the sales of
    chemicals through a specialized company and forbid the activities of
    individuals in this sphere. One of the questions discussed was the
    activities and the future plans of the official newspaper `Dizak' on
    which the editor-in-chief Y. Madounts made a report. Evaluating the
    work of the newspaper staff as satisfactory, the heads of the
    departments of the regional administration and the communities were
    tasked to deal with subscription to the newspaper, and the attention
    of the staff was drawn to the improvement of the quality and urgency
    of the materials, as well as cooperation with freelance
    reporters. Then the head of the territorial agency of social service
    S. Hakobian reported on the activitiesof the agency directed by
    him. The activities of the mentioned organization are various: family
    allowances, aid to the families of the disabled of the war and the
    killed soldiers, providing sums for the tombstones of the killed
    azatamartiks, opening of bank accounts for each third and more child
    in thefamily, social cards, unemployment benefits. In the past 9
    months the amount of family allowances totaled 31 million 316 AM
    drams. 1 million 469 thousand drams of insurance benefit was paid to
    the disabled of the Artsakh war. According tothe NKR government
    decision N 146, the construction of houses for 4 of the 6 families of
    the region having 6 and more children under 18 has already begun.
