YEREVAN. - The Dzoragyugh village, with a population of 350, in Armenia’s Lori Region has many problems. First and foremost, the residents are deprived of communal utilities, the village prefect Robert Hovsepyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am, adding: “The village is not supplied with [natural] gas.” 

Aside from this problem, the villagers do not have irrigation water either, and that is why it is difficult for them to produce agricultural products. Some parts of the village do not even have drinking water, Hovsepyan said. And the angry villagers note: “In what day and age are we living that people today carry water, from the mountain, with buckets?”  

Dzoragyugh village has five-hundred cattle, which are the villager’s basic means of living. The villagers raise the animals, and the animals feed them. 

The village school has thirty students, but no grade-one students.

Also, there were five marriages in Dzoragyugh this year.
