Facebook Armenian users are concerned over another environmental
problem. This time, users alarm that construction of a hydro-power
plant on the waterfall threatens with Chichkhan river diversion. The
construction will endanger both the waterfall and ecosystem.
Environmentalists held an action of protest in front of the government
Thursday demanding the construction to be stopped.
Facebook users created a group 'Let's Save Trchkan Waterfall',
which comprises already 3750 people, including journalists and
environmentalists, and come out against the plans of the private
construction company. It is not the first effort of Facebook users
to achieve settlement of environmental programs. Previously, users
came out against open pit mining of Shahumyan deposit, exploitation
of Hrazndan metal mine. Another group "We are the owners of our city"
was created to protect the Student Park. The group has grown into a
solid initiative group monitoring destruction of green areas under
illegal construction.
