ArmInfo. The problem of development of the Teghut deposit may be
included in the National assessment report at Rio-20, said Chairwoman
of "For the sake of stable development" Association Karine Danielyan
at a press-conference at Henaran club, Tuesday.
According to her, besides Teghut, the report will also present the
situation on the decline in Sevan whitefish stock. Danielyan said that
the given problems will be reflected in the report in case she also
has an opportunity to work at them. "But even in the contrary case,
I will all the same exert all efforts for this",- she said. Danielyan
expressed hope that the governmental structures will be very active
in working at the national report. "This process should go on at the
highest level, and not only at the level of public organizations",-
stressed Danielyan. She recalled that the United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development (UNCED), also known as the Earth Summit,
took place in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. It aimed to work out the key
principles and coordinated steps to prevent an ecological, social and
economic crisis. Rio-10, or the Second Earth Summit dedicated to the
problems of stable development took place in Johannesburg in 2002.
Danielyan said that at Rio- 10 Armenia presented its first National
assessment report. Rio-20 is scheduled for 2012, and the issues of
preparation will be discussed at the international summit in Bali
this week. In particular, it will cover meetings of representatives
of public organizations from various countries of the world. It is
noteworthy that Danielyan herself and an expert from Croatia will
represent the European region.
