No Silence Youth initiative and the Armenian NGO Ecolur consider
a recent statement on suspending the construction of a hydropower
plant in the vicinities of Trchkan waterfall to be a trick aimed at
distracting public attention.
In a written claim issued in that connection, they say Robshin
company's statement (which deals with the construction) does not have
any legal force, with the nature protection minister's permission to
use water and a recent environmental assessment remaining in effect.
Both documents are considered illegal, given that the waterfall
was included in the list of Armenia's water monuments under a 2008
Government decision.
Concerned that Robshin may waive its "good will gesture" at any moment,
the activists call for proper legislation to ban the construction of
the hydropower plant on the site.
