Dear activists of Tsaghovski forest,
Environmental activists of ‘Save Teghut Civic Initiative” from the
Republic of Armenia send their greetings to you, expressing their
support. We are really concerned with the issue of Tsaghovski forest,
security of the activists and condemn the actions carried out by
Police Forces for Special Purposes (aka OMON) and Russian Police
undertaken against environmental activists.
We, environmental activists, appreciate your struggle and support your
efforts. Currently you are trying to hold the authorities back from
their destructive decision that can be ruinous for Tsaghovski forest.
The importance of Tsagovski forest is tremendous and indisputable
for dense population not only in Zhukovski city, but also in Moscow.
Morevere, Tsaghovski forest is an international resource and its
protection is very important.
The authorities of the Republic of Armenia are similarly violating
several national laws and international conventions, ignoring the
calls of international organizations and environmental activists
and thus trying to exploit the mine in Teghut forest. Destruction
of Teghut forest will become a terrible ecological disaster not only
for Armenia, but for the neighboring countries as well.
The environmental activists of ‘Save Teghut Civic Initiative” urge
all interested bodies, institutions and organizations to respond
to the calls of the activists striving for the sake of Tsaghovski
forest, prevent possible disaster to take place there and publicly
criticize the illegal actions of law enforcement bodies directed
against defenders of the Tsaghovski forest.
Tsagovski civil activists, we once again express our support, wish
you be strong and persistent for the sake of nature and humanity.
We support your movement!
“Save Teghut Civic Initiative” May 4, 2012 Yerevan
