The problem on expediency of forest devastation because of the Tekhut
deposit is still up in the air.
"We are not concerned about the tree-planting process, but its results
which will be clear in 7-8 years", - director of CJSC "Hayantar"
(Armforest), Ruben Petrosyan, said at today's press-conference when
replying to Arminfo correspondent's question if it is right to develop
industry at the expense of green zones.
"According to the Tekhut project, 357 ha of forest should be devastated
and forests should be restored at the territory of 714 ha.
At present the company planted trees at 220 ha in Lernahovit, Odzun
and Archut. However, we are not concerned about the process of the
new trees planting, we are concerned about the results, which will
become clear in 7-8 years", - he said.
The programme on exploitation of the Tekhut copper and molybdenum
deposit was approved by the government of Armenia in November 2007. As
ecologists said many times, the ecological risks of the project were
reduced for several times.
