On April 5 an environmental protest demonstration was held on Freedom Square directed against the policy run by the authorities such as heavy development of mines, forest elimination and exhaustion of water resources. The biggest issue we have today is the absence of responsibility of officials towards environment and natural resources use.
Protestors came up with a statement directed to the authorities: “We don’t want to tolerate the predatory policy the authorities have adopted in regard with environment and natural resources any longer. If it continues like this, we will soon be left without forests, soil, water, air and future generations. This is an alarm for all of us, both the authorities and public,” the statement says. The statement has been signed not only by environmentalists taking part in the demonstration, but also citizens concerned with the environmental situation in Armenia."
