Today, there is only smoke and no fire in the forests of Dilijan, in the bends of the interstate road and in the resort area, the Ministry of Internal Affairs assures, at the same time stating that the same cannot be said about the border zone of Gegharkunik. In any case, the fire that broke out 8-10 days ago in the Chambarak-Ttujur section, which spread rapidly throughout the forests of Tavush, due to the inert efforts of those responsible, has not been completely extinguished yet. there are still hearths.
That's how we understand the ambiguous message of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Let's not forget, after the first horrible video on the social network, Robert Ohanyan, the deputy head of the community of Chambarak, was the first official who frankly told a journalist that fires have been found in Chambarak since mid-November, contrary to the official report of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which said that the fire had been spreading since the 21st.
Moreover, Ohanyan presented a clear hypothesis: the fire penetrated the Armenian pastures from the enemy's territory.
Moreover, the local official, who was not in his administrative area during the emergency and was participating in firefighting operations, but was in Yerevan, with the head of the Chambarak community, and was necessarily present at the labor conference of the state system organized by Pashinyan. Why did the fire spread so widely and to what extent was it possible to break the situation in a much shorter period of time?
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a unique explanation for this question: they received the alarm late, that's why they started the firefighting works late. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, in fact, considers that the regional departments, the police and the EMS, go into action when they are alerted about the fire.
It turns out that without an alarm, they do not know the situation. Perhaps, as a result of this, it was impossible to control the situation operatively.
Narek Sargsyan, the spokesperson of the police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, said that they learned about the fire in the Chambarak-Ttujur area only after the alarm. Lusine Hakobyan, assistant to the head of the eco-patrol service, states that a detailed inventory is needed to assess both the damage done to nature and the scope of restoration of the area. According to her, at this stage it is not yet possible to say what was the exact cause of the fire.
