    KOCHARYAN ESTABLISHING HIMSELF THROUGH KILLING?

    President of the "Association for Sustainable Human Development",
    member of the Public Council Karine Danielyan disapproves of Robert
    Kocharyan's photos taken after a lion hunt.

    In an interview with "A1+", Danielyan recalled that local environmental
    protectionists had caused uproar after Robert Kocharyan went hunting
    in a helicopter in the Republic of Kom years ago.

    "What do we expect, if men feel strong to this day, are able to hunt
    from a helicopter and are still thinking about royal hunting? He
    thinks highly of himself and has to establish himself by killing
    animals. We are dealing with the mindset of age-old people. That
    mentality is gone. It is a shame for it to be reinforced in Armenia.

    There should be political will to consider it a shame and not a mark
    of royal elite," said Danielyan.

    Director of the World Nature Foundation Armenia Office Karen Manvelyan
    considers Robert Kocharyan's "lion hunt" photos to be normal because,
    according to him, similar hunts are often organized in African
    countries. He took note that hunters pay for hunting and some of that
    money goes to the conservation and reproduction of that same type.

    "This is applied in any developed country. It's just that the concept
    of hunting economy, the idea and the culture in general don't exist
    in Armenia yet," said Karen Manvelyan, noting that he is unaware of
    how much money is spent for such hunting. "Every national hunting
    economy may have its own price list."

    Do you know other current or former presidents who hunt, besides
    Robert Kocharyan? In response, Karen Manvelyan said:

    "I know many presidents. Russia's current and former presidents hunt."

    Manvelyan wasn't able to say why their photos are not posted on
    "hunting" websites.

    Let us remind that photos of Robert Kocharyan's hunt were posted on
    http://tanzaniabiggame.com/ and were removed after publications in
    the presses.
