/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian government on Thursday satisfied
requirements of environment protection public organizations to prevent
passing of 24 hectares of the Jrvezh forest park territory to municipal
authorities. RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said that decision
was just. According to him, the RA NAS president expressed anxiety
in connection with the possible alienation of the territory and sent
a letter to the government asking to re-unite this territory to the
total Jrvezh forest park. "This decision, in fact, restores justice,"
Tigran Sargsyan said.
In September, civil society representatives called upon the environment
minister Aram Harutyunyan to reconsider the decision N 684 of July
18, 2009, under which the land, planted with a unique pine forest,
was allienated from the whole park. Activists insisted, that the
decision of the ministry was demonstartion of corruption and had to
be abolished.
