    "SAVE TEGHUT" TO PROTEST OUTSIDE COURT TOMORROW

    The Save Teghut environmental group has announced that it will be
    staging a protest and hunger strike outside the Administrative Court
    tomorrow at 11 am in conjunction with the first trial session in which
    a number of groups are seeking to stop the Armenian Copper Programme
    (ACP) from operating a mine in the ecologically rich Teghut forest
    in Tavush.

    "Ecodar" is the environmental organization chosen by the government
    to present the case of those who oppose the mine. Mariam Sukhudyan,
    an environmentalist activist, has stated that the protestors want to
    attract attention to the on-going case in the hope that the courts
    will finally see the light and issue a stop order for the mine.

    "Various laws were broken when the government gave the green light
    for the Teghut mine and the cost of the damage to be caused to the
    ecological system wasn't considered," she stated.
