BYURAKAN RESIDENTS ARE AGAINST THE PROSECUTOR GENERAL'S PROJECT ON CONSTRUCTION OF HYDRO POWER PLANT
Thursday, April 18, 20:34
Byurakan village residents are against construction of a hydro power
plant at Amberd river in the Orgov gorge of Aragatsotn region of
Armenia. About 150 residents of the village came to the construction
site today to express their protest.
They told ArmInfo correspondent that they worry that the shallow-water
river will dry up and the village will remain without water. However,
the construction of the Amberd power plant has already started and
Byurakan residents are confident that Armenia's Prosecutor General
Aghvan Hovsepyan is behind the construction. The latter has already
built houses and green houses in Byurakan and does not want to stop.
Armenia's Economy Minister Tigran Davtyan told journalists earlier that
"Amberd GES" Ltd. is going to invest about 790 mln drams (about $2
mln) for construction of the power plant cascade and the government
of Armenia adopted a decision to postpone VAT payment from import of
equipment for three years.
To note, "Amberd GES" Ltd. was founded in November 2004 by Gurgen
Hakopyan and a citizen of Iran Parviznosrati Alasdari.
