Specialists of the National Academy of Sciences and NGOs have
discussed the bill worked out by Armenia's Nature Protection Ministry
on Khosrov reserve and presented a number of proposals and remarks
to the ministry.
Environmentalist Silva Adamyan, though, claims neither of the officials
took into consideration the proposals during its presentation at
the government.
"We have sent a letter demanding a new discussion as the ministry's
step is unacceptable. Serious scientific proposals have been made
that should not have been ignored by the ministry," Adamyan told the
reporters on Thursday, noting that according to the law the place
will be just a reserve.
The environmentalist said the ministry has not conducted hearings
of the bill established by law and has not discussed the bill with
the NGOs.
One of the specialist's proposals is not to make Khosrov forest a
place for tourists and allow entrance there on foot only like it
is done in many countries. "Khosrov forest is a natural monument
for all of us and any encroachment against it is inadmissible,"
the environmentalist said.
