On September 18, members of "Khosrov Reserve" civil initiative visited
Khosrov reserve to discover in Kakavaberd section of the forest
traces of fire, domestic waste, empty bottles, dismembered corpses of
animals. In particular, they found remainders of slaughtered rabbit,
European brown bear, Bezoar goat and there was unbearable stench in
the area.
Young activists say they have detected traces of poachers. They shot
what they saw with photo and video cameras and on behalf of "Khosrov
Forest" civic initiative disseminated a press release supporting it
with photos and video report. The video clearly shows that illegal
hunting of animals registered in Armenia's Red Book has occurred which,
they say, is a criminally prosecute act.
"As a matter of fact, the head of the Kakavaberd sector of Khosrov
reserve has failed to duly implement his duties," the civil initiative
said in the press release.
"The video also shows that the "guests" felt like at home, spent there
much time with silent consent of the reserve administration, or even,
it's not excluded, with immediate participation of the administration
and permit of the Nature Protection Ministry."
Late in July, Minister Aram Harutyunyan announced that that nobody can
get into the reserves without his permission. Concerning the illegal
building be demounted otherwise he promised to sue the Hovazadzor
Ltd in charge of the construction.
"Khosrov Reserve" civil initiative notes with regret that the building
still stands on its place.
