PROTESTERS BANNED TO APPROACH COURT BUILDING
[07:38 pm] 10 July, 2008

After staging a protest action at the Governmental Building people
struggling for the protection of Teghut forests proceeded to the RA
Court of Concession.

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Court President Serzh
Sargssian, Prime-Minister Tigran Sargssian and other high-rank
officials had all gathered at the site.

However, the police did not allow the protesters to approach the
building on the grounds that the Court held a celebration and they
were assigned to protect the area.

MP of the `Heritage’ Party Zaruhi Postanjian, who was participating in
the protest action, noted that the protest did not only serve the mere
purpose of drawing the President’s attention to the protection of
Teghut but it was also directed against him since the decision of
exploiting Teghut was signed at the time of his office as a
Prime-Minister. After the celebration President Serzh Sargssian and
Prime-Minister Tigran Sargssian did not even cast a look at the
protesters while leaving the court building.
