Environmental concerns: Activists disrupt another international conference to raise domestic issues

On Tuesday, after dozens of activists made their way into the hall, one of them, Anna Shahbazyan, began to go around the place with a glass of water in her hand, offering the ministers of nature protection, energy and natural resources, economy and other officials to drink the water from Armenian rivers that people in villages and towns in Armenia drink. The activist said that way the officials would see how polluted water in Armenia is because of unbridled mining.

None of the ministers agreed to drink the water. Instead, Minister of Nature Protection Aram Harutyunyan got beside himself and threatened one of the activists “to tear his ears off”.
