It's already three months that Aarhus center in Yeghegnadzor hasn't been able to receive the record of public hearings on Amulsar project from the responsible sides taken place on August 25, in Gndevaz community, in Vayots Dzor region.
On 10 September Aarhus Center Coordinator Narek Beglaryan has addressed a letter to Geoteam CJSC asking to provide the copy of the minutes of the public hearings on Amulsar EIA held in Gndevaz community.
In reply, on 18 September Geoteam CJSC Director informed, “The minutes of the public hearing on Amulsar EIA organized by Nature Protection Ministry in Gndevaz community on 25 August has been submitted to Nature Protection Ministry and is available at “Environmental Expertise” SNCO.”
Next Narek Beglaryan addressed the same request to Nature Protection Ministry on 22 September. In reply, Khazhak Aghabekyan, acting Staff Head of Nature Protection Ministry, advised, “The Amulsar hearings were organized and held by the community head with the participation of “Environmental Expertise” SNCO of Nature Protection Ministry and the representatives of “Geoteam” CJSC. Therefore, you can get the copy of the minutes from Gndevaz community.”
Narek Beglaryan’s request addressed to Gndevaz Community Head Hayrapet Mkrtchyan on 10 October was left unanswered.
It should be mentioned that in reply to EcoLur’s request, the Nature Protection Ministry advised that the minutes of the specialized hearings on Amulsar project held in Gorayq could be taken from Gorayk Rural Municipality.
