This year the hail caused heaviest damage to Armavir Region on 12 and 17 May, where 46 families incurred damage from the hail on 12 May, while the damage caused from the hail of 17 May is still being estimated. Aram Gabrielyan, Climate Change Framework Convention National Focal Point Coordinator, answers to the question what to do: “Hail can’t be struggled with, but it should be accustomed to. The means which are usually used are not effective and perspective. The people can’t oppose to the energy produced by the hail, and even a nuclear power plant is not sufficient to struggle with such weather. Even if to prevent the hail, it can cause drought in other areas, we should get accustomed to it,” he said. For our part we would like to add that damage minimization is not only a problem for farmers, but also for the state, which should be a guarantor.”
