But government has to find them first
Yesterday, during a question and answer session between parliament
members and government officials, Heritage Party MP Stepan Safaryan
raised the matter of the illegal construction of a small
hydro-electric plant in Vayots Dzor.
The illegal construction, which made news headlines a few months ago,
also sought to change the natural flow of the Gayladzor tributary that
empties into the Argitch River.
Even though the Minister of Nature Protection has supplied answers, in
writing, to MP Safaryan, the Heritage Party parliamentary factional
leader again peppered the Minister, asking if the inter-departmental
commission formed had ever found out who was behind the construction
of the plant and what it planned to do with it.
Minister Aram Harutyunyan answered that the same amount of irrigation
water that had been flowing to the 100 hectares of land must be
guaranteed and that there is really no need for any additional
structures; that the existing resources are ample to meet demand.
He added that those found responsible for ordering the construction
would be fined to the full extent of the law and would be obligated to
rectify any negative consequences of said construction.
