Nature protection minister does not keep things under control
The head of the Water Resource Management Inspectorate of Armenian Nature Protection Ministry Volodya Narimanian told ‘Zhoghovurd’ paper that Nature Protection Minister Aram Harutyunian who was appointed to this post in 2007, does not keep things under control. In his words, 599 deep wells were drilled in Soviet time, and only 14 of those wells now have an operating permit.
The paper’s sources said that Harutyunian should have extended the operating permits instead of granting new ones. As a result, the earth’s interior was deleted. An investigation into this criminal case is underway.
