On 23 March at 11:00 Teghout Supporters Group will announce a protest demonstration and one-day-long hunger strike “For the Sake of Restoring Justice” timed to the first hearing of the Administrative Court of RA on “EcoDar” NGO’s lawsuit against the Armenian Government near the Administrative Court of RA. Appeals of a number of governmental body decisions are the substantiation of this lawsuit that refer to establishing АСР Company Project (a part of Vallex Group Company) for the development of Teghout Copper and Molybdenum Mine. “We want to draw attention to these proceedings and we hope that the court will recover the justice. A number of laws were violated when the government adopted this decision, but they didn’t take into consideration that the ecosystem of the Teghout forest will be destroyed, water will disappear and the local population will suffer. We hope that at last the voice of the public will be listened to,” said Youth Green Movement activist Mariam Sukhudyan during her interview with EcoLur.
Reminder: the Administrative Court twice rejected the lawsuit and decided to try it only after the decision of the Cassation Court of RA.
