    LAWFULNESS OF DECISION ON DEVELOPMENT OF TEGHUT DEPOSIT TO BE DETERMINED IN COURT

    ArmInfo. The lawfulness of the decision on development of Teghut
    deposit will be determined in the court, a lawyer Hayk Alumyan said
    at today's press- conference in 'Urbat' club.

    According to him, the case will be forwarded to the Administrative
    Court on June 5. The circumstance that the country's legislation,
    as well as the international conventions and articles of Armenia's
    constitution were violated during approval of the project of
    development of Teghut copper-molybdenum deposit, has become a reason
    for the suit. 'In our suit, we demand to recognize the administrative
    acts, used with rough violation of the laws, invalid', H. Alumyan
    said. Moreover, the ecological risks in the submitted ACP project
    were reduced several times.

    According to Head of Transparency International PO Sona Ayvazyan,
    the statements saying the company will cut 357 Ha of woods in all,
    are somewhat ungrounded as a large forested area will turn out to
    be under the threat of destruction. Moreover, the harm, which may be
    caused to the species of flora and fauna, included in the Red Book,
    and the boundary river Debet, is not taken into account. Instead,
    S. Ayvazyan said, according to the governmental protocol, the boundary
    ecological harm in case of development of Teghut deposit is excluded.

    The Armenian ecologists are not going to be restricted to the
    court only. As S. Ayvazyan said, a work is underway to establish a
    cooperation with the international ecological organizations, including
    the Green Peace.
