What Stage Are the Fire Suppression Efforts for Landfill Fires in Vayots Dzor?

The Governor of Vayots Dzor, Vahagn Arsenyan, wrote on his social media page: 'The smoke resulting from the ongoing fires at the "Zirak" landfills in the cities of Yeghegnadzor and Jermuk is causing some inconvenience to the residents. The issue is under control, and necessary measures are being taken to prevent the fire.

In May of next year, it is planned to construct a waste sorting station in the territory of the Vayk community, which will serve all the settlements in Vayots Dzor. Waste sorting and preliminary processing will significantly reduce their volume and contribute to a substantial improvement in the waste management system in the region.

Dear residents, we apologize for the inconvenience caused.'
