Public Debates around Lake Sevan continue: Human Rights Defender of Armenia has replied to Territorial Administration Minister Armen Gevorgyan. The reply says, “In regard with the Human Rights Defender’s statement on procedural violations in the amendments to legislation on Lake Sevan, Armenian Deputy PM has presented clarifications and in-detailed referred to certain positive steps of organizing a public discussion by the department he heads, nevertheless, the abovementioned steps haven’t ensured full performance of law provisions. Moreover, the legislative amendments on Lake Sevan have been made with the obvious violation of procedural standards…”
“...any violation of law is impermissible, particularly when such a violation can cause damage to environment, including Sevan. Procedures can be formal or they can be converted to such ones, nevertheless, only through following law requirements and actually consulting with specialists it’s possible to find effective solutions to current agricultural problems and future environmental challenges.”
