On July 16, 2015 the executive body declared invalid the decision on giving land to “Surb Aghbyur” LTD to construct a small HPP in Syunik region. The reason was that the land hadn’t been used for 3 years.

Reminder: 0.1 ha of land provided for the SHPP is a specially protected area the category of which was changed by the 555-N decision made on March 29, 2012. Now that land will be included in the specially protected areas again. Those areas are included in “Zangezur” Biosphere Complex.

In 2015 “Arev Yev Jur” LTD presented for environmental assessment the applications of “Kaputjugh” and “Kajarants” SHPPs construction in the administrative area of Kajaran village in “Zangezur” reserve of “Zangezur” Biosphere Complex. 

The material was  developed in the frames of “Supporting reforms in the sector of small hydro power plants through enabling a dialogue between civil society  and the Ministry  of Nature Protection for sustainable use of river ecosystems” supported by UNDP/GEF Small Grants Programme".
