Teghut forest (situated in the north-eastern region of Tavush).
Speaking to Tert.am, Gor Hakobyan, an initiator of the movement called
`Let's Save Teghut', said they are starting a trip to the forest on
January 15 to introduce the problem to people and raise their
awareness of the hazards that may arise from the exploitation of the
mine in Teghut.
He said the campaign will bring together environmentalists who will
explain the negative impact of such decision.
On the day of the trip, the activists will introduce their new
program. Hakobyan did not dwell on the steps planned and said only
that they involve all possible means aimed at the protection of the
forest.
