The Government of the Republic of Armenia by Resolution No. 638 of May 2 defined the types of activities not included in the constitutional documents that received a positive conclusion from the state examination subject to evaluation and examination in specially protected areas of nature (SPAN), forest lands, green zones of settlements, borders of historical and cultural monuments or environmental lands. The decision derives from the law "On Amendments to the Law on Environmental Impact Assessment and Expertise" adopted in 2023.
In order to carry out economic activities, it is necessary to change the purpose of land. Article 46 of RA Forest Code states that the rights of users of forests or forest lands granted from forest lands or acquired on other grounds may be limited by the prohibition of changing the intended use of forest lands.
According to Articles 16, 17 and 18 of RA Law "On Specially Protected Areas of Nature", it is prohibited to violate the habitat conditions of representatives of the flora and fauna in reserves, national parks and sanctuaries.
