Artsakh Agriculture Minister: Scheduled power outages, lack of diesel fuel also cause problems in irrigation system
STEPANAKERT, JULY 18, ARTSAKHPRESS: "Under these conditions, when we don't have diesel fuel to be able to use diesel generators during scheduled power outages, we are facing very serious problems in irrigation. Irrigation, mostly by 75 percent, is done mechanically using artesians or pumps. Lack of electricity also affects this direction," added Georgi Hayriyan.
