Occupancy of hotels and health resorts in Jermuk does not exceed 40%  - Governor

ArmInfo. On the border of Armenia, in the Vayots Dzor region, the situation remains relatively calm. Governor of the region Ararat Grigoryan announced this to  journalists on November 7.

He stressed that after the well-known events of September 13 in the  city of Jermuk, no incidents were noted. <A couple of weeks ago, the  Ministry of Defense issued a message about a small conflict, but in  general the situation is calm. The Chief of the General Staff of the  Armenian Armed Forces has already informed the public about our  losses. According to our information, the units of the Armed Forces  of Azerbaijan continue to be in the territories occupied by them,  which is visible even from the city of Jermuk.>, the governor said.  As Grigoryan stressed, the situation developing in the region cannot  but cause concern. In the event of a new aggression, the Armenian  armed forces are much better prepared. "As a result of the additional  measures taken and the involvement of additional forces, we can talk  about the possibility of an adequate response," the governor said,  adding that no one saw enemy forces in the Jermuk gorge.  He  mentioned that after the aggression of September 13, life in Jermuk  has changed. The shelling of the city could not but affect the daily  life of the local residents. Some of the residents were moved to  safer places during the hostilities. At this time, a large group of  tourists rested in the city. However, over the past 15 days, life in  the city has been completely restored. Step by step, everyday  problems of the residents of Jermuk are being solved, despite the  more than significant decrease in the tourist flow, as it was before.   "Obviously, by the end of the year we will not have such a flow of  tourists. If there were no vacant places in local hotels and health  resorts before the hostilities, now their workload is about 40%>, the  governor said, adding that as a result of working with tour  operators, there has been a slight increase in the number of  tourists, including foreign ones.
