VIDEO: The Dzoraget Gorge Has Been Turned into a Dump

This is the municipal dump of Stepanavan, right in the Dzoraget Gorge. This was reported by Facebook user Eduard Kankanyan, who also shared a photograph of the site.

“I can hardly imagine what kind of officials must not love their own city and country to decide to turn one of the most beautiful and nature-rich areas of the city into a dump,” he wrote.

Auroranews contacted the press department of the Stepanavan municipality, where we were informed that this part of the Dzoraget Gorge has been a dump for a long time.

The press officer assured us that despite the fact that the newly elected mayor of Stepanavan, Armen Grigoryan, is new in office, he is taking various measures to address the issue quickly.

When asked what specific works are involved, the press secretary requested an official inquiry.
