ENVIRONMENTALISTS TO START SIT-IN IN KAJARAN
http://www.a1plus.am/en/social/2011/12/16/environmentalists
A group of environmentalists today held a protest action in support
of the residents of Kajaran village and headman Rafik Atayan.
"The future of our children is endangered," shouted the
environmentalists.
On December 15, Rafik Atayan resigned from his post and from the
ruling Republican Party as well. Atayan said he had been pressured by
the party to sign a contract that would allocate the village lands
to Zangezur Copper Molybdenum Combine. He did not agree to the deal
and resigned in protest.
Members of "Trchkan" civil initiative group will travel to Kajaran
at the weekend to support the locals. They are likely to start a
termless sit-in Syunik.
"This is a common cause. We shall not allow the village to weaken
its positions," said environmentalist Eghia Nersisyan.
