The Hraparak newspaper has already reported that the youth wing of the Heritage Party, as well as a number of environmental protection NGOs, intend to hold an action of protest against a uranium enrichment program during the opening ceremony of the Tatev-Alidzor ropeway.

Syunik Governor Surik Khachatryan was enraged at the news and decided to prevent the action himself. According to some information, the Governor carried out “explanatory” work with the local population and NGOs to prevent their participation in the action.

However, the environmentalists are determined to fight back to the ropes. They plan to address a letter to the rope-way project managers to prevent uranium mine development programs.
