YEREVAN. – Armenian Ombudsman Karen Andreasyan gives assessment for the
activity of the Armenian Ministry of Natural Protection over last year.
“Registered faults in the activity of the Ministry are as follows:
elimination of the green areas, especially forests, continued in the
territory of Armenia. Cases of illegal tree cutting were registered as
well, while the Ministry did not record them. Another concerning issue
is the continuous growth of rubbish and tailing dumps of the mines.
Along with faults the Ministry has recorded positive developments
as well, including maintenance of the Lake Sevan level, its stable
raising as well as establishment of public shores. Another positive
case is putting an end to constructing a small hydroelectric power
on the Trchkan waterfall,” the assessment reads.
