YEREVAN, MAY 13, NOYAN TAPAN. Who is behind the company registered
in Liechtenstein and owns 81% of ACP company that has a licence for
operating the Teghut mines. This and a number of similar questions
related to operation of the Teghut mine will be presented to the
government, member of the NA "Heritage" faction Zaruhi Postanjian
stated at the May 13 press conference.
She said that the current prime minister knows very vell the scale
of damage to be done to the country as a result of the mine's
operation. "The prime minister has delivered good lectures on
which countries are considered developed, which are industrial or
postindustrial and which are servicing, backward countries. According
to the prime minister, the countries with an economy which is
developing based on mining industry are considered as the most backward
ones," Z. Postanjian underlined, adding that in fact, we will become
a backward country by operating the Teghut mine.
She expressed confidence that the implementation of the government's
decision may be prevented if the society applies much pressure. "If
Teghut's operation is not prevented, mines will be dug to the detriment
of nature in other parts of Armenia. In particular, work to determine
the uranium reserves has already begun in Syunik marz," the deputy
said. She announced that the environmentalists are going to dispute
in a legal way the government decision on operation of the Teghut mine.
