12:53 February 18, 2015
EcoLur
Right now the public hearings on the construction of Qaghtsrashen
gravity irrigation project are being held in very tense
environment at Garni Rural Municipality with the participation of
"Hayhydroenerganakhagits" CJSC representatives, Garni Village Head
Ashot Vardanyan and Garni villagers.
Under EcoLur's source, Garni villagers oppose to the implementation
of this project, while "Hayhydroenerganakhagits" CJSC representatives
are trying to convince them. Garni Village Head also opposes to this
project, as Garni Gorge will get dry in case this project comes true.
In parallel with the discussion, a group of villagers are holding
a protest demonstration with posters near the building of the rural
municipality.
Reminder: The project plans to lay a pipieline of 27,685 meters
length to take water from the Azat River to Aygestan, Berdik, Getazat,
Deghzout, Hnaberd, Mrganush, Narek, Nerqin Dvin, Norashen, Vardashen,
Verin Dvin, and Qaghtsrashen communities in Ararat Region.
The Azat River is the main factor in forming the ecosystem of
the Azat Gorge. Khosrov state reserve, Symphony of Stones and the
communities using the water of the Azat River an Azat Reservoir are in
the project affected zone. In case project implementation, the risk
of Azat River to get dry becomes higher, as well as risks on Garni
Gorge desertification, elimination of the local rich biodiversity
and non-fullness of Azat Reservoir.
