Tatul Manaseryan, deputy of the National Assembly and an economist,
advised not to connect too many hopes with deputies connected with
nature protection issues.

In his words, the deputies are not interested even in the green area
in the yard of the parliament.

Manaseryan believes the state can allocate funds for nature protection
but there is no will for that.

Karine Danielyan, ex-minister of nature protection and the chairperson
of For Stable Human Development NGO, said it is connected with our
oligarchic-capitalist system. "If you ask people what they will choose
"to have" or "to be," many will answer, "to have."

Danielyan believes a lot of natural resources are sacrificed to
personal interests of few.
