Armenia`s Lori province affected by natural disasters - politician 

ArmInfo. Natural disasters follow one after another in the Lori region of Armenia. This was written on his Facebook page by Armen Ovasapyan, a member of the  Council of the Republican Party.

In particular, according to him, there has been an unprecedented  snowfall in the Alaverdi region since yesterday night (in some places  the height of the snow cover reached 30 cm), as a result of which a  rather complicated emergency situation has developed. At the same  time this morning at 5:15 an earthquake occurred (about 4 points).

"In addition to all this, yesterday late in the evening (around 1 am)  massive power outages were recorded in Alaverdi and neighboring  villages (Odzun, Aygeghat, Ardvi). After the earthquake, the region  was completely left without electricity. It is assumed that a  high-voltage tower fell on the Vanadzor-Alaverdi section. The  situation in the internal networks is also unsatisfactory. Due to wet  and heavy snowfall, many power transmission towers fell. In these  conditions, a natural question arises: how will the work of schools,  kindergartens and other institutions, which mainly work with heating  boilers and which, in turn, cannot function without electricity, be  organized?" the politician asked.
