YEREVAN. – Trchkan Armenian environmental initiative has sent another letter to the Minister of Nature Protection Aram Harutyunyan that informs about the danger lying on Arpa river. The newly built two hydro-electric stations may dry the river.

The activity also provides the relevant photos.

“The photos clearly show that the channel of the river and one of the waterfalls has already dried and the other waterfall which is also included in the list of nature monuments of Armenia hardly flows. 

We kindly ask you to review this issue and find out how the owners of hydro-electric stations violated the ecology norms, and caused the channel of the river dry.

This is not the only case when we see how the small hydro-electric stations damage the nature. Our activity will keep this problem in its focus and gather facts and substantiations which will later be submitted to the Ministry of Nature Protection,” the letter reads.
