Arthur Ghazaryan, Chairman of Kapan-based "Union of Employees' Rights
Protection" NGO has addressed an open letter to Agriculture Minister
Sergo Karapetyan, which says, "As you know, in the frames of KfW
funded "Support to Specially Protected Areas of Caucasus" program
"Zangezour" Biospheric complex was established in Syunik Region,
while in the frames of "Support to Renewable Energy" program KfW bank
makes investments in the construction of SHPPs and in 2012 KfW bank
allotted US $ 40 million loan.

I would like to ask information on whether or not

* forest and agricultural fertile land areas were allotted to Zangezour
biospheric complex in Syunik Region,

* in the frames of "Support to Renewable Energy" program forest and
agricultural fertile land areas were allotted to constructed SHPPs,
as well as SHPPs to be constructed,

* How Agriculture Ministry controls the damage caused by the SHPP
construction in the frames of "Support to Renewable Energy" program.
