On November 27, the Armenian office of Caucasus Nature Fund and
WWF announced suspension of their cooperation with Khosrov reserve
until the results of the competitive selection for the office of the
director of the reserve announced by the ministry of nature protection
are voided.
The national coordinator of the Caucasus Nature Fund Arman Vermishyan
and director of the Armenian office of WWF Karen Manvelyan expressed
dissatisfaction with the results of the competition, saying that they
stop their activities in respect to Khosrov reserve because the winner
does not meet to the requirements for this office.
As we know, Gabriel Poghosyan of Artashat has been selected who
is known by the nickname Nono and is a protege of NA Speaker Hovik
Abrahamyan. Hovik Abrahamyan was rumored to be interested in Nono's
selection for the position.
By the way, earlier the press had reported about Hovik Abrahamyan's
intentions to build a hotel and a restaurant in the reserve.
"0.5 million USD has been so far invested in the Khosrov reserve by
the fund. After so much money has been spent, there are people who
think they can just come and take everything," said Karen Manvelyan.
Arman Vermishyan noted that their organization has spent money for
the preservation of the reserve and they want to see some progress and
not a new director who does not meet the requirements for this office.
Note that the environmental organizations have spent several hundred
thousands of euro within different projects. They suspend these
projects until a new competition for the post of director is announced.
By the way, Nono is a famous poacher in Artashat. Fires in the reserve
are associated with his name.
