The people in Stepanavan have addressed a letter to the Prosecutor
of Lori Regional Karen Shahbazyan on the issue of the lawfulness of
"Stepanavan-2" SHP in the resort zone, EcoLur NGO reports.
"We have examined the documents and detected that the territory
they mentioned is on the Dzoraget River, while the construction was
launched on the tributary to the Dzoraget, Chqnagh River. This is
our resort zone. Here water is drained to the pipes, and the whole
fauna and flora and all beautiful landscapes have been destroyed.
The public hearings were held on 18 January and nobody warned us
about it. The website of the ministry didn't mention the date of
holding public hearings. On the same day the public hearings on the
construction of two other HPPS were held, those of "Stepanavan-5"
SHP and "Stepanavan-6" SHP". We had no idea about them. I can't
understand, how two public hearings can be held simultaneously,
which have impact on the same territory.
The way for Stepanavan development is tourism. This is a resort zone,
which may turn into a resort place of international significance. But
this will remain a dream, if SHPs are constructed in our beautiful
places," Said Stepanavan Aarhus Center Coordinator Manya Meliqjanyan
in her interview with EcoLur.
