ArmInfo. The Cassation Court of Armenia has put off the hearing of the
Tekhut case for an indefinite time.
According to lawyer Hayk Alumyan, the judge should have said why the
hearing has been put off and for what a period. He personally does not
know why such a strange decision was passed. "I can't analyze their
mental process as it is beyond any logic," Alumyan said noting that
sooner or later they will be forced to consider the case and satisfy
our claim.
To remind, Mar 24 the Administrative Court dismissed the claim saying
that the Tekhut project is contrary to Armenia's Constitution and the
international conventions it is signatory to. In the next months the
Aarhus Convention Compliance Committee is expected to express its
opinion on the project.
Tekhut is the second biggest copper deposit of Armenia after Kajaran
with 450mln tons of ore, 1.6mln tons of copper and 99,000 tons of
molybdenum. ACP's project to develop the deposit was approved by the
Armenian Government in Nov 2007.
