The Armenian Students' Union of Belgium has issued an open letter,
addressing the environmental problems in Armenia and expressing
solidarity with the activists combating the potential environmental
hazards of Teghut forest (Lori region) and the kiosks in Yerevan's
Mashtots Park.
The Union says particularly that the Armenian youth in Belgium follows
the environmentalists' campaign with great enthusiasm, considering
their movement a serious effort towards reviving the Armenian youth and
urging the authorities take the people's opinion into consideration.
"Several mines are being already operated in gross violation of
environmental rules. The ruthless exploitation of the lithosphere
without observance of the necessary environmental norms will, beyond
doubt, lead to disastrous aftermaths in the foreseeable future, causing
pollution of water, air and soil; desertification; depopulation of
villages and an increasing exodus.
The continued implementation of mining programs will in the near
future call into question the existence of our state and motherland.
It is not tolerable, as the future generation will not forgive those
who impose this ominous plan on our nation for the sake of their
own interests.
Therefore, we express our solidarity with, and gratitude to, all those
who do their best to fight against the destruction of the marvelous
forests in Teghut and the illegal installation of kiosks in Mashtots
Park. We call upon the Armenian authorities to take urgent measures
to deal with these extremely crucial issues," the authors of the
letter say.
The note at the end that the Armenian environmentalists' successful
campaign for the protection the Trchkan waterfall inspires hopes that
all the problems will find a positive solution some time in future.
