The Greens demand that the Nature Protection Ministry revise its
findings on the impacts the project to build a water power plant in
Lori marz may have on the nearby Trchkan Waterfall.
Member of the "Let's Preserve Trchkan Waterfall" action group Levon
Galstyan reminded journalists on Saturday that the waterfall has
officially been Armenia's hydrological natural monument since 2008.
He said that the work of the plant may have a very negative impact on
the waterfall but the Ministry's findings say nothing about it. "But
we'll be able to demand the stoppage of this project only after a
repeated examination by independent experts," Galstyan said.
To note, the Ecolur NGO and the "Let's Not Be Silent" youth action
group have launched a "Nature or Money" S.O.S. campaign. And the fate
of Trchkan has been the first S.O.S. they have received.
