The government last week introduced another set of measures to eliminate the consequences of flooding in the Lori and Tavush regions.

Before discussing the issues on the agenda, the Prime Minister noted: “The three issues we report on today are all related to new measures to eliminate the consequences of the floods that occurred in the Lori and Tavush regions on May 26. I think this is also a good opportunity for us to take stock of what we have done during this period, what was successful, what failed, what conclusions we have drawn, and what needs to be done in the future.”
The Government approved a plan to provide assistance to merchants operating in the disaster-affected areas of the Lori and Tavush regions of the Republic of Armenia. The measure is intended to help merchants affected by the emergency situation caused by heavy rains and floods in the Lori and Tavush regions of the Republic of Armenia on May 25-26 to overcome difficulties and maintain economic activities.
The Government approved the procedure for compensation of losses caused to the agricultural population in the disaster areas declared as a result of the state of emergency in the Lori and Tavush regions of the Republic of Armenia.
The Government has made a decision to supplement and amend the annexes approved by the Decision of the Government of the Republic of Armenia of July 4, 2024 “On approval of the procedure for compensation for losses of individuals in the affected areas due to the emergency situation caused by rain-flooding in the Lori and Tavush regions of the Republic of Armenia on May 25-26, 2024”. Taking into account that due to the emergency situation caused by floods, vehicles of individuals in the affected areas were damaged, the decision proposes to establish a procedure for compensation for damage to vehicles.
