    MUNICIPALITY USURPED FORESTLANDS

    A1+
    [11:49 am] 21 March, 2007

    The Gyumri Municipality has captured the forestlands belonging to
    the forestry, claims Ashot Valesyan, chief head of the forestry. In
    Mr. Valesyan's words, an illegal deal was concluded; the municipality
    usurped over 2000 hectares forestlands of Severski district. As a
    result of this illegal bargain, the forest management won't be able
    to realise planting.

    The Urban Planning Department of the municipality seems to be unaware
    of the matter. They don't know that the claim of the forestry has
    already been submitted to the RA Ministry of Environment Protection.

    Henrik Gasparyan, deputy head of the department states that 4.8-hectare
    forestlands were given to the Gyumri municipality under the decision
    of the RA Government.

    But the department has no intention to realise tree planting in the
    disputable forest areas.
