A group of ecologists campaigning for Teghut will hold a protest action and hunger strike in front of the RA Administrative Court on March 23.

Armenia's Administrative Court is scheduled to hear the claim of Ekodar NGO against Armenian Government tomorrow. The NGO is challenging the government decision referring to the utilization of Teghut copper-molybdenum deposit by Armenian Copper Programme (ACP).

The ecologists argue that the government has violated laws ignoring Teghut's ecosystem and causing major damages to the locals.

he Administrative Court has twice refused the claim whereas the Court of Cassation partially granted the appeal recognizing Ekodar the only plaintiff.
