The ecological issues are hard to solve in Armenia, because of the
system, and not because of the lack of financial sources. A number
of representatives of the Armenian ecological NGOs expressed this
opinion at yesterday’s press conference. They touched upon three
issues in the course of the press conference.

Firstly, the informed that about 40 NGOs sent an open letter to the
USA, the Islamic Republic of Iran, to RA Government and to a number of
international ortganizations. In the letter they stated that they are
against the spreading of nuclear weapon. At the same time, they said
that Armenia can carry out a mediator’s mission in anti-nuclear issues
between the two countries. They expressed the hope that unanimously
they will be able to solve the probable global disatser.

Karine Danielian, chairwoman of "For Stable Human Development," said
that the initiative was welcomed at the embassies of the USA and Iran.
