The details of the incident are not disclosed. According to rumors, in
the morning the villagers learnt that the drilling technique had
caught fire. `We learnt what had happened only in the morning. The
prospecting equipment is far from our houses, on the other side of the
village. So the fire was not visible from our houses, taking into
account it broke out at night,' the local residents said.
Experts conducting explorations prevented journalists from taking
photos of the burnt equipment. They told the reporters they can take
photos and get information only at the presence of their manager, who
was heading from Yerevan to Lernadzor.
The reporters could take a photo of the burnt piece of prospecting
