Some environment organization complain about the order issued by the
government on management of forests. The government decision says
state forests will be accredited to companies if forest economies
cannot manage them on their own or work on losses.

Public organizations in environment believe that this will boost up
corruption risks. Nazely Vardanyan, Armenian Forests NGO Director,
believes the order is underdeveloped and does not include expert
opinions.
