A group of ecologists campaigning for Teghut will hold a protest action
and hunger strike in front of the RA Administrative Court on March 23.
Armenia’s Administrative Court is scheduled to hear the claim
of Ekodar NGO against Armenian Government tomorrow. The NGO is
challenging the government decision referring to the utilization of
Teghut copper-molybdenum deposit by Armenian Copper Programme (ACP).
The ecologists argue that the government has violated laws ignoring
Teghut’s ecosystem and causing major damages to the locals.
he Administrative Court has twice refused the claim whereas the
Court of Cassation partially granted the appeal recognizing Ekodar
the only plaintiff.
