ArmInfo.The Yerevan Municipality will allocate 50 million drams for the restoration of Armenian communities affected by severe flooding on May 25-26 in the north of the country. The decision on this was made at a meeting of the Council of Elders of the capital of the republic.
The funds, in particular, will be used to restore the city of Alaverdi. This will allow the local community to apply to the government for additional funding through sub-venice programs, which will double the volume of assistance.
On May 26, a flood occurred in the north of Armenia, caused by heavy precipitation, heavy rain and the overflow of the Debed, Aghstev and Tashir rivers, which led to significant destruction of infrastructure and the death of four people. A number of settlements in Lori and Tavush regions are recognized as a disaster zone. In order to eliminate the consequences of the disaster, an operational group was formed under the leadership of the Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructures of the Republic of Armenia Gnel Sanosyan.
