Hayk Alumyan, attorney for the Teghut defense group, told "Hetq" that since the administrative court had refused to hear their petition he would be taking the matter to the Court of Cassation tomorrow. The group had sought that the court issue a work stoppage at the Teghut forest mining site. The court had rejected the claim arguing that the group wasn't competent to argue the matter "If the Court of Cassation issues a similar decision we will take the case to the European Economic Committee, a body which reviews such cases. Armenia is a member nation and is obligated to accept its rulings," attorney Alumyan stated. The Teghut group argues that the mining operation violates the international Arhaus Convention, to which Armenia is a signatory. Let us remind readers that the European Economic Committee adopted a finding that Armenia was violating the Convention regarding the Dalma Gardens. "Our government, however, hasn't done anything to remove those violations," Mr. Alumyan said.
