    ENVIRONMENTALIST ATTACKS ARMENIA'S NATURE PROTECTION MINISTER

    Armenia's Ministry of Nature Protection must allocate funds to
    the company that implemented a construction project in the Khosrov
    forest reserve to enable it to remove the building, according to the
    environmentalist Silva Adamyan.

    Minister of Nature Protection Aram Harutyunyan's permission for the
    construction is business, she says.

    At her meeting with journalists on Thursday, Ms Adamyan addressed the
    minister, saying: "Excuse me Mr Harutyunyan, are you a businessman
    or minister of nature protection?"

    With respect to the current situation, Ms Adamyan said
    environmentalists keep on receiving reports on poaching.

    "We cannot understand what our law-enforcement agencies are doing to
    resolve the poaching problem," Ms Adamyan said. She demands Minister
    Harutyunyan's resignation as "to hold this post a person must at
    heart be an environmentalist rather than a businessman."
