The Haykakan Zhamanak
The other day Shatin Villagers, Vayots Region, blocked the road to Regional Head Sergey Bagratyan. Under them Armenian President’s brother Sashik Sargsyan, Deputy from Republican Party, intends to construct a small hydropower plant on the Yeghegis River, a tributary to the Arpi River. As a result, several villages are at the stake of staying without any river. Several years ago on the same spot another Republican deputy Hermine Naghdalyan intended to build a small hydropower plant. Nevertheless, after the confrontation with the locals she gave up that idea.
