Blogger Tigran Kocharyan wrote on his Facebook page, "After googling
hydroelectric power plants, I found the following picture - the hotel
of Yenokavan and an Azeri flag blowing in front of it. What is this
about, who knows? P.S. I will upload the updates here; I hope the
flag is not there anymore, I am just curious what the name of the
director at the time was."
One of Armenian news websites wrote on the same subject that this
resort belonged to Artak Chibukhchyan, the owner of the Future Tour
travel agency, and added, "Artak Chibukhchyan has another business
besides the hotel, it is 'environmental protection,' in particular, he
was one of the most active protesters - one may say, the instigator -
against building a hydroelectric power plant in the region of Tavush,
along with 'environmentalists' who have become known to us recently.
Such people are behind environmentalists and the real face and goals of
environmentalists and the real picture of their activities have been
revealed once again - it turns out that one can wage an active social
'struggle' for the sake of grants gotten from different countries,
but if we find out one day that Turkey and Azerbaijan are among these
countries, we will not be surprised." We called on the phone number
of the Future Tour company, which we found on the internet. Irina who
is responsible for the public relations of the Future Tour company
and is Artak Chibukhchyan's wife spoke to us. She said that flags
of different countries were hung in front of the resort 2 years
ago. According to our reliable information, the Azerbaijani flag was
hung in front of the Future Cowsheds resort complex located on the
territory of Yenokavan, next to Getahovit, not 2, but 3 years ago.
During a conversation with us, Irina confirmed that there was a
connection between the interview given by Artak Chibukhchyan to one
of the news websites against building a small hydroelectric power
plant called Khachaghbyur-2 on the territory of Getahovit and the
appearance of the resort complex's picture with the Azerbaijani flag
on the internet, saying, "You can surf the web, if his interview
appears there, then his [Artak Chibukhchyan's, V. S.] bio appears
as an Azerbaijani spy, you are a journalist, you can conduct your
investigation."
Let us add that as a result of the struggle between the residents
of Getahovit and environmentalists, the construction of the
small hydroelectric power plant has been suspended for now. The
Trchkan environmental initiative made a request in writing to Aram
Harutyunyan, the Minister of Nature Protection, in which it informed
along with asking questions to the minister, "Megaenergy LLC builds
the Khachaghbyur-2 small hydroelectric power plant on the territory
of two state national parks - Ijevan and Arjatkhleni - however,
the 27th page of the environmental part of the Khchaghbyur-2 small
hydroelectric power plant reads, 'There are no protected areas on
the construction site of the hydroelectric power plant.'"
Armen Ghularyan, the governor of Tavush, applied to the administration
of Getahovit some 10 days ago asking to provide land for the
construction of the Khachaghbyur small hydroelectric power plant by
Megaenergy LLC on the Pagh Jur tributary of the Aghstev River.
Let us inform that the construction of the small hydroelectric power
plant has been carried out without the Getahovit community's provision
of land, permission of construction and public hearings among the
residents, a set of environmental laws have been violated.
