Representatives of the RA Police started dispersing a rally in front of the central office of VTB Bank (Armenia) in Yerevan.

On July 28, activists of the movement against deforestation of Teghut blocked the entrance of the bank central office and demanded a meeting with the bank leadership, a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent reported from the scene.

The rally participants accuse VTB Bank (Armenia) of financing Armenian Copper Program aimed at mining of Teghut copper-molybdenum deposit of Lori region, Armenia.

The activists urged clients of the bank to refrain from using the bank services, explaining it by the fact that their money will be used for deforestation.
