On 23 March the first court hearing of the Administrative Court of RA will be held on “EcoDar” organization’s action brought against the Armenian Government. The lawsuit is based on appealing a number of governmental body decreed regarding to the approval of ACP Company (a part of Vallex Group) on the development of Teghout copper and molybdenum mine.

It should be noted that the Administrative Court rejected this lawsuit twice, but public activists appealed these refusals. The Court of Cassation partially met the cassation appeal, but only “EcoDar” NGO was recognized as a plaintiff, while it refused to recognize “Transparency International” NGO as a plaintiff.
