ArmInfo. Regarding problems with the water supply of the Tlic community, in the City Hall of Aragatsotn region of Armenia on February 9 assembled roundtable, with the participation of two delegates from the community. About this in an interview with ArmInfo said the Talic community head Slavik Sanoyan.
He noted that the community permanently faces this problem. "In November of the previous year, I addressed the Governor to built a pomp under the ground in order to eliminate the problem of freezing and not functioning. The Governor promised to solve the problem, but did not mention any concrete terms", said the Community head. He added that when the pomp went out again the community had to buy a new set costing 1mln AMD by own funds. Though, according to the Community head, problems occurred with repairs, as the village is on the border and the access to the pomp is by passes. "We, the village residents, have an access to the pomp, but not the residents should receive the passes. And time is needed for that, which we basically do not have, and we wanted that in such cases those people had access by own documents of identification".
Meanwhile, as the spokesman for the Border Guard Department of FSB of Russia in Armenia Sergey Grechin stated to ArmInfo, the first massage about the pump dysfunction was received on February 5th, and the problem of passes provision was solved during five minutes. "Moreover, the Gate Command offered villagers a water-carrier, providing it temporary of the village residents", the National Security Service and Armenian Police representatives at Armenian Government, Ministry of Transport and Communications, tax and customs authorities, other public bodies, as well as those workers organizations, which carry out local and international transport or transport and exchange of e-mail correspondence or provide repair and maintenance of railway, motor roads, waterways, oil gas, communication and power lines or carry out research, environmental monitoring, animal and plant life (including forests and specially protected natural areas), water, air, land, mineral resources and their use, operation or state hygienic and anti-epidemic control in accordance with Armenian constitution - on official certificates and travel documents issued by the authorized officials. "Thus, in the case of accidents and other unforeseen situations, as in this case, skipping is not executed, and the passage is carried out by the above-mentioned documents. We can not violate the State Law of Armenia. In this case proper changes should be implemented into the constitution", said the Officila Representative of the Border Gate.
Grechin also disproved the Ezid National Committee head "Sinjar" Boris Murazi's statement that the Russian Border Guards do not let the specialists to repairs of the pomp, demanding special passes, which according to him, can receive only local residents. "Passes are issued in accordance with established procedure, for one year. After the Border Management receives application, it is forwarded to the National Security Service of Armenia, and only after their approval, our agency has the right to issue an appropriate badge", said Grachin.
However, despite the assurances of the State Committee of Water Resources of Armenia that the problem of water supply of Tlic community is completely solved by the structure's efforts, the villagers claim that the pump was purchased by community funds. They also complain about the constant lack of water. "Today we have an elementary lack of drinking water, we have to melt snow, boil it, cool and then drink. The village has more than 3.5 thousand of small cattle, which stands in the paddock in need of water. The pump continuously deteriorates, and we have to wait months for help, but the cattle is dying without water", say the villagers. They also expressed gratitude to the Russian border guards for assistance in solving the problems of the villagers of different nature.
Meanwhile, according to the Community Head, for water suppleness in the village, must be about 9mln AMD. "Two years ago, someone plundered pipe supplying water to the village. And just last year, came a man named Gago and stated that he has a court order for dismantling of internal water supply network, but I drove him away, not allowing to disassemble the pipe. We counted that in order to supply water from the nearby Ako village into our village, 9mln AMD is needed, but no one wants to deal with this problem, and our requests are in a vicious circle from one court to another", said Sanoyan.
During the meeting, between the representatives of Border Guards of Russia in Armenia and community residents, was also agreed to apply for the names of persons who in the case of another problem, may be called upon at its removal and their names will be written further passes.
To note, there are 18 families living in the village.
