Based on the publication titled ''Who has targeted the forests of "Dilijan" National Park, Part 1.'' appeared on website "hetq.am" a large-scale study was conducted for the protection of state interests at the Prosecutor's Office of Tavush Region. In this context, data were obtained that in order to build a rest complex for organizing and providing services of rest at the address Parz Lich 24 Street of Dilijan community of the Republic of Armenia, a citizen from Dilijan community was issued a construction permit on July 22, 2016, according to which a 12-month deadline was set for construction work. Though the latter's action stopped on 22 July, 2017, however, the deadline set according to construction permits has not been extended and no final construction act has been issued.
According to Article 23 of the RA Law on Urban Development, in case of not completing the construction on time, the body issuing the construction permit gives a written warning to the constructor about the extension of the construction permit and the completion of the construction or on alienation of the object of the urban development activity owned by him.

Meanwhile, officials of Dilijan Municipality did not fulfill their official duties, did not warn the constructor to extend the term of the construction permit in order to complete the construction or alienate the object of urban development, which excluded the possibility of applying administrative liability to the constructor for 3.204.000 AMD causing material damage to the community in the same amount.
It was also found out that according to the contract concluded between ''Dilijan National Park'' SNCO and the citizen it was stipulated 5 years term from the date of cadastre registration for concluding the construction, and if the construction was not completed during that period of time, as in the case of non-compliance with the terms of the architectural plan, the contract is considered not valid, and the land is returned to the owner without compensation.

However, they have not been completed and the officials of "Dilijan National Park" SNCO, ignoring that circumstance, have not taken measures to terminate the contract, return about 5,000 square meters of land plot to the state without compensation, in the result of which the state was deprived of managing its right fully.
