YEREVAN, JULY 2, NOYAN TAPAN. RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsian, visiting the village of Aknashen, RA Armavir region, on July 1, got acquainted with the problems both Aknashen residents and inhabitants of a number of neighboring villages are concerned with. According to the Prime Minister, it is very gladdening that all communities first of all raise the problem of schools' repair, as children should study in favorable conditions, and if there is a willingness to learn, it means that "our future will be reliable." Touching upon irrigation water problems, T. Sargsian said that the volume of irrigation water has abruptly reduced in the past years in the country, and many land plots are not irrigated. In his words, the villagers' complaint is appropriate, and the government will undertake steps in that direction. In response to the villagers' complaint whether it is possible to reduce the interest rates of short-term credits given to villagers, T. Sargsian said that he had got acquainted with the indices of ACBACreditAgricole Bank and saw that the villagers return the credits by 99%, which means that "the villagers' complaint is inappropriate."
