    Hayk Alumyan, attorney for the Teghut defense group, told "Hetq" that
    since the administrative court had refused to hear their petition he
    would be taking the matter to the Court of Cassation tomorrow. The
    group had sought that the court issue a work stoppage at the Teghut
    forest mining site. The court had rejected the claim arguing that
    the group wasn't competent to argue the matter

    "If the Court of Cassation issues a similar decision we will take
    the case to the European Economic Committee, a body which reviews
    such cases. Armenia is a member nation and is obligated to accept
    its rulings," attorney Alumyan stated.

    The Teghut group argues that the mining operation violates the
    international Arhaus Convention, to which Armenia is a signatory. Let
    us remind readers that the European Economic Committee adopted a
    finding that Armenia was violating the Convention regarding the Dalma
    Gardens. "Our government, however, hasn't done anything to remove
    those violations," Mr. Alumyan said.
