    TRCHKAN WATERFALL TO BE DECLARED SPECIAL PROTECTION AREA

    Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan has proposed that Trchkan waterfall
    be declared a special protection area.

    At the cabinet meeting on Thursday, the premier addressed environmental
    NGOs' recent concerns over the situation of Trchkan, particularly
    the plans to build a hydropower plant on the territory.

    He said the Ministry of Nature Protection has studied the problem and
    upon the president's recommendation, issued a decision to neutralize
    the environmental threats to the waterfall.

    "Notwithstanding that, our environmentalists have raised one question
    to prevent threats to the waterfall in future. It is necessary for
    us to grant [Trchkan] a special status to ensure that the waterfall
    will face no hazards and its water resources will not be used for
    other purposes," Sargsyan said.
