    29% PEOPLE REMAIN HUNGRY

    Armenia is included in the list of CIS countries where there are a
    lot of people feeding abnormally.

    According to the report of the FAO (Food and Agricultural
    Organization), 29percent of the Armenian population don't eat well
    and sufficiently.

    Alongside with Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, Armenia appeared in the
    last place in the CIS countries' list with its index.

    In this respect, Belorussia, Ukraine and Russia are in better state.

    As for Armenia's neighbors, Georgia and Azerbaijan have serious
    progress in this sphere among the former Soviet countries according
    to the UNO.

    The report says that the total number of the people who were on the
    verge of hunger reached 2.5 million in Georgia and Azerbaijan in 1993 -
    1995 whereas this number was curtailed to 700 thousand in 2001 - 2003.

    The FAO sees progress in Armenia as well. If 52 percent of the
    population didn't feed properly in 90s, today, their number reduced to
    29 percent though the FAO specialists claim that the above-mentioned
    index is again high and troublesome.

    According to the UNO specialists, the insufficient nourishment is
    determined by wars, natural disasters and the extreme poverty caused
    by these factors.
