Residents of the five communities of Aragatsotn region who blocked the
main highway to Yerevan last week in protest against the construction
of a hydroelectric plant in the region, today gathered in Ohanavan
village where they were to meet Deputy Prime Minister Armen Gevorgyan.
"He [Armen Gevorgyan] agreed to meet us today but has not showed up
for the appointment. We have been waiting since early morning. They
cheated us. In despair, we went to block the highway again but the
local police told us that the meeting would be held on Monday,"
said Vardan Poghosyan, a villager of Ohanavan.
The group is determined to continue protests in Yerevan if the relevant
bodies fail to attend the problem.
The angered villagers say that the construction of the hydroelectric
plant on the reservoir will deprive them of their livelihoods. They
claim that they live off 1500 hectare apple groves dependent on
irrigation water coming from the reservoir.
