ARMENIAN ENVIRONMENTALISTS CONCERNED OVER HAZARDS OF POOR NATURE PROTECTION
16:32 * 04.06.14
The serious degradation of values has caused a real crisis in most
different spheres of life, affecting also the mother nature, Armenian
environmentalists said today at a news conference devoted to the
World Nature Conservation Day.
"This is not a problem that emerged in just one day. We have been
isolated from the land, water and nature, and that isolation has caused
us to destroy and deprive ourselves of everything that once fed us
and was the basis of our identity and culture," Anna Aghlamazyan,
a coordinator of the Armenian Environmental Front, noted.
Describing the widespread indifference to the environment as
"nature destruction", she said the situation has amounted to a
serious disaster.
The environmentalist ruled out any cooperation with the authorities,
considering it a useless job.
Syuzi Petrosyan, another coordinator of the group also attending
the news conference, said she, as a representative of the Diaspora,
is interested in spreading true information about the problem.
"In the Diaspora, we have a movement called Armenian Renaissance,
and we operate branches in ten countries. There is a telecast in
Los Angeles, which covers all the environmental problems in Armenia
without filtration," she said.
Karine Danielyan, the head of the local NGO, For Sustainable Human
Development, added for her part that an environmental problem is
part of more general and broader policies that shouldn't be treated
in isolation.
"Several years ago, there was a plan to reduce us to the level of a
raw appendage. And those who wanted to make money quickly did so. So
we must now try to step by step find a way out," she said.
Describing the use of the earth's lithosphere as the most serious
environemntal problem, the Danielyan added they have elaborated
conceptual approaches reflecting their ideas of possible solutions.
"We had agreed with the previous government to jointly discuss the
issues to find solutions, but it was delayed for objective reasons
as there was a cabinet change. So we will now try that cooperation
between the society and the government," Danielyan promised.
