    State Environmental Inspection 'makes a mark' again

    ArmInfo. What Happened In Jermuk: Collusion Or Natural Disaster?

    Under EcoLur signal alarm, the State Environmental Inspection of
    Nature Protection Ministry of Armenia conducted an examination.
    According to the official information, 124 trees have been cut down in
    Jermuk City Park, out of which 108 have been knocked down or damaged
    from hurricane. Punitive measures, 370,500 AMD, have been applied only
    for 16 poplars.

    "Municipality's statement, to say the least, is a lie. Only 2-3
    poplars were damaged because of strong winds in Jermuk. Why was no
    representative from Nature Protection Ministry or an environmental NGO
    present during the recording of natural disaster consequences?" says
    one of the letters addressed to EcoLur. "It would be much better, if
    Mayor could explain why only 12 ha has been left out of 17 ha in the
    park?" another letter says.

    Earlier in December the Control Service revealed gross violations in
    environment and agricultural sectors. In has turned out that the
    Environment Protection Inspectorate has not inspected the reserves and
    national parks. Financial violations in the amount of 17 million drams
    were revealed at the Ijevan National Park alone. The inspectorate
    restored only 6.1% of 165 million drams illegal felling. Relevant
    structures have not been informed of the violation. The inspectorate
    independently revealed only 40 of 465 violations.
