HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OUTSIDE VTB BANK
http://a1plus.am/en/social/2010/07/28/protest
Today's protest action organized by the Teghut Defense Group outside
the offices of VTB Bank turned into a real jostle.
When the protestors demanded to speak to a bank official they were
told that the bank "had no manager." This made the protesters block
off the entrance steps.
Bank employees and customers demanded the protesters to "free" the
entrance but all in vain. Customers, neglecting the environmentalists'
calls for sobriety and shame, walked over the protestors to get inside
Still, there were few who joined the protesters at the entrance doors.
Minutes later scores of police officers approached the protesters
and forced them off the steps elbowing and hurling.
The Russian VTB Bank is going to fund a mining operation in the
pristine forest of Teghut. For this purpose, the Bank will allot ACP
Company (Armenian Copper Programme)a loan of $300 mln to operate the
copper and molybdenum mine.
