ArmInfo. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has launched an aid program for vulnerable populations affected by the Nagorno- Karabakh conflict in Armenia.
According to FAO, the project will be implemented jointly with the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Armenia and the Food Security Inspectorate of Armenia in order to quickly respond to the needs of the government and fill in the problems that have arisen. Assistance will be provided from agricultural resources such as feed, equipment, materials, construction of temporary farms for displaced farm animals, etc. "The program is important because it provides a quick response, but additional support will be needed in the coming agricultural season," Raymond Yellen, FAO Representative in Armenia said.
To note, according to various estimates, from 12 thousand to 55 thousand cows and from 60 thousand to 90 thousand heads of small ruminants were transported to Armenia by displaced families after the Karabakh conflict.
