STEPANAKERT, MARCH 9, ARTSAKHPRESS:Artsakh Minister of Agriculture, Zhirayr Mirzoyan, said the aforementioned in response to the question of Artsakhpress correspondent about works being conducted to develop the Araks Valley. The Minister added that the terrain is favorable both for gardening and fieldwork.

In his words, the Araks Valley is unique in that it is almost impossible to engage in agriculture there without an irrigation system. It’s nearly impossible to plant any crops there. The temperature reaches 45C in June.

“To develop the terrain the state-run “Araks zone” Closed Joint-Stock Company was formed this year. The company will carry out all the programs. We have more than 80 hectares of prepared land for gardening,’’ Mr Zhirayr Mirzoyan said, adding that presently active works are underway on the terrain.

There are projects of creating processing workshops on the spot.
