Armenia's ex-defence minister reveals secret of US biolabs in country
02 June 2024 15:48
Former Armenian Defence Minister Arshak Karapetyan has asaid that American biolaboratories were submerged during the flooding in the northern regions of the country.
According to virologists, this may lead to a surge of unknown diseases in the country, the general said, Caliber.Az reports, citing Armenian media.
Armenia faced a devastating flood situation in late May 2024. This intense precipitation overwhelmed the region's capacity to absorb the water, leading to overflowing rivers.
The brunt of the flooding hit the northern provinces of Lori and Tavush. The Debed, Aghstev, and Tashir rivers, crucial waterways in these regions, burst their banks, causing widespread inundation. Towns like Alaverdi in Lori faced severe flooding, with many homes and businesses severely damaged or destroyed.
The floods caused significant infrastructural damage. Bridges over the Debed River were destroyed, disrupting transportation routes and isolating some communities. The M6 highway, a vital link to neighboring Georgia, was also flooded and partially collapsed.
