agricultural to industrial. Tchotchkan Rural Municipality has already
reached a decision on the change of the category of the land areas.
The only person opposing to the protest demonstration, Oleg Durgaryan,
will be on a business trip and won't be able to take part in the
meeting. Oleg Durgaryan has filed a letter to the community head
requesting to postpone the meeting, but avail. "The community head
has decided to convene a meeting at 09:30 a.m, as most villagers
are busy will daily activities and their participation at such
hour is improbable. The selected hour is also not convenient for
the involvement of mass media. Nevertheless, we call all community
residents, interested citizens, structures and mass media, as well
as environmentalists to express their position and to be informed,"
