Postanjyan: Heritage to vote against law on environmental protection
Monday, September 08, 2014
The draft law on environmental protection submitted by the Armenian
government does not inspire trust in the member of Heritage
parliamentary faction Zaruhi Postanjyan. In her speech, the deputy
said that a representative of Nature Protection Ministry declared that
the draft had been discussed with various NGOs, but it is not true.
"They assure us that on Friday the law was discussed with
representatives of NGOs, but it is not true. Some members of NGOs
approached us during the break. They said the law has provisions
contradicting construction norms. In their words, the new law will
allow increasing violations in construction sector, which will
aggravate the situation," she noted.
In response, Deputy Minister of Nature Protection, main speaker Simon
Papyan expressed his gratitude for discussion of details, noting that
the draft law does not violate any building norms.
"The government pins serious hopes on the law. The sooner the draft
will be adopted, the faster several problems related to the
environment will be solved," Papyan said. In his words, the law's
provisions were misinterpreted by NGO members.
"The urgent adoption issue is clear. If you want to get funds - get
them, but don't lie. We are sure that quite a different draft is
submitted today. Heritage faction will vote against it," Mrs.
Postanjyan said.
