Because of the drought, which led to a shortage of water under the control of Russian peacekeepers Hankendi, a state of emergency was introduced in the city. Armenian media report that over the past 40 days there were no rains in the city, and the air temperature did not fall below 30 degrees.
In the city, there are water around the clock on cars to residents of areas where there is no water. Even two artesian wells remaining since the times of the Soviet Union were useful.
In the city, they say that the past had water problems, but the current situation is unprecedented and wait, not wait for the rains
on the provocative question of the Armenian media, whether the statements are true that Azerbaijan can be involved in the water problem, they answered negatively in Hankendi.
Hankendi’s population gets water from three rivers. In two rivers, the water has decreased almost twice, and in the third it is completely dried. Previously, it was decided to stop using water on all car washes, in recreation areas.
