Some villagers in Vayots Dzor are cutting down the fruit trees in their backyard to heat their houses for winter. They told our correspondent firewood is not sold in their village, if there is some, the prices are rather high: 16-18 thousand AMD for one square meter. “There are many forest places around, but they don’t allow us to take even a stick, so I have to cut down several trees in our orchard to make ends meet,” says Taratumb villager Madam Anush.
At present only 11 communities out of 44 in Vayots Dzor are supplied with gas.
