Writer Vahram Tatikyan said that during a visit of volunteers' group,
which deals with waste removal from the territory of Havuts Tar (9th
century) monastery, to Khosrov reserve, they revealed evidences of
poaching - dead bodies of animals and shells.
Volunteers managed to gather a huge quantity of waste. However,
foresters and local residents pollute the territory "more diligently",
instead of expressing gratitude to volunteers and strengthening
cooperation with them, Tatikyan told a press conference on September
30.
"Thus, I am going to apply to all international instances with a demand
to recognize Armenia as a place, which is absolutely inappropriate for
tourism, as before tourists' visit to Armenia, we should thoroughly
clean it," noted Tatikyan.
Activist of several initiative groups Mariam Sukhudyan noted for her
part that the management of Khosrov reserve gives a hostile reception
to all efforts of volunteers. Besides, currently volunteers can enter
the reserve territory only with a special permission provided by the
RA Ministry of Nature Protection or Ministry of Culture.
