Minister of Agriculture Sergo Karapetyan promised the residents of Lusarat village in the Ararat Province of Armenia, and who had closed off the Yerevan-Meghri Highway, to resolve the grape purveyance problem by no later than September 25.

A villager who wished to remain anonymous, and who had participated in their talk with the minister, told about the aforementioned to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“He [i.e. Karapetyan] explained in an incomprehensible way that ‘your grapes will not be left on the ground,’” said the villager. “But we didn’t understand how it will not be left [on the ground].”

If the problem is not resolved by September 25, the Lusarat residents plan to block the motorway again, and even take the leftover harvest to outside the Ministry of Agriculture building, in capital city Yerevan.

As reported earlier, hundreds of Lusarat villagers, who are unable to purvey their grape harvest, closed off the Yerevan-Meghri Highway for several hours on Friday morning. Sometime thereafter, however, the villagers managed to meet with the minister in nearby, Pokr Vedi village, and discuss their problem.

Lusarat residents had told Armenian News-NEWS.am that no plant is procuring their grape harvest.
