recorded 49 mln drams of penalties. In total, 29,2 mln drams were
transferred to state budget.
The national parks "Sevan", "Dilidzan" and the forest reserves of the
republic were also at the center of attention of Aram Harutyunian
during his 100-day tenure. A thorough check up was realized there
and the reconstruction of some governmental buildings was fulfilled.
Aram Harutyunian's attention was also concentrated on the activities of
Alaverdi's Copper-Molybdenum Enterprise. The Ministry staff visited
the factory and discussed issues of exhaustion and equipments of
decreasing air pollution. The Minister was informed about the program
worked out by "Armenia Copper Program" CJSC, which exploits the mine,
