In their letter to Prime Minister of Armenia Tigran Sargsyan, a group
of Armenian environmentalists demand that the two-storied building
that is being constructed in Gilan, a part of the Khosrov National
Reserve, should be demolished.
In 2007 the status of Gilan was reduced to partial preserve, June 23
2011 it was given back the status of reserve.
The ecologists are ready to help to pull down the building and to
monitor and restore almost 300 historical monuments located in the
Khosrov National Reserve.
The letter has been sent by the Ecological Alliance - an association
comprising some 45 NGOs.
To remind, the Government's decision to reduce Gilan's status and to
construct a building in its territory caused a wave of protests among
environmentalists. The Nature Protection Ministry said it would be
a visit center, the ecologists said it was supposed to be a restaurant.
The first report about the construction was received in 2008 while
the decision to stop the project was passed in 2010.
