    Greens are ready to organize Trchkan 2 campaign

    The residents of Getahovit are against the project to build a
    Khachaghbyur 2 small water power plant in their community.

    One of them Ghazar Yengibaryan told journalists on Friday that they
    are going to campaign against the project. "If our opinion is left
    unheard, we will block the road leading to the site," the protester
    said.

    Well-known green activist Mariam Sukhudyan said that the greens are
    ready to help. "We are ready to organize a campaign similar to the one
    organized against the Trchkan project," she said.

    The plant is being built by Megaenergy CJSC. The greens say that the
    contractor has cut down lots of trees in the territory of the Ijevan
    and Turkish Hazel Alley nature reserves and has diverted the Agstev
    river leaving the residents of Getahovit with almost no drinking
    water.

    Oct 26 Armenia's Environment Protection Minister Aram Harutyunyan
    declared void the report on the project's impacts on the environment.
