A new environmental initiative dealing with the protection of
the Khosrov Reserve is calling for proper measures to ensure the
preservation of the fauna and flora of the natural heritage site.
In a statement, the members of the group ask the Ministry of Nature
Protection to dismantle a stone construction built on the territory
of the reserve and suspend the road building, as well as take
accountability measures against all the officials who allowed the
construction of an entertainment site on the territory.
The group demands that the officials, as well as the company carrying
out the construction work, pay for the damages that could be caused
while returning the park to its former appearance. They also call
for bringing Armenia's relevant legislation in compliance with
international agreements, involving all interested parties in the
process.
The environmentalists are organizing a visit to the Khosrov reserve
on Sunday morning. They are planning to tour the Guilan preserve and
a cafe was built by the construction company, Hovazadzor.
The group informs that anyone wishing to join the initiative can
register until 8:00 pm local time on Saturday, by contacting Hasmik
Grigoryan (098 84 59 80).
