WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT
Support A1+!Armenia ratified Aarhus Convention in 2001. But it hasn’t yet been officially translated into Armenian and published. “Our officials don’t like Aarhus Convention”, lawyer Aida Iskoyan said at an ecology seminar on “Ecology Problems and Coverage in Mass Media”, held by OSCE Yerevan Office and Social Center for Ecological Information. She considers ratification of the Convention as achievement in such atmosphere.
Convention provides that everyone has the right to get ecological information. “If an official refuses to give information, he must base why”, Mrs. Iskoyan says.
Ecology International Academy member, Professor Razmik Petrosyan stresses the ecological education, adding economic instruments are necessary for it.
