The mine in Armenia's southern village of Kajaran will be drilled,
Maxim Hakobyan, General Director of Zangezur Copper Molybdenum Combine,
has said.
Speaking to reporters after a New Year reception at the presidential
office on Wednesday, Hakobyan said: "... There is no problem there:
The mine will be drilled."
It comes after the government adopted a decision to use a copper-rich
territory - around 600 hectares - in the southern province of Syunik
for mining.
The decision kicked up resentment among local residents who condemned
the government's move.
"Kajaran is a good city, it has good mines," Maxim Hakobyan said,
though the reporter asking the question meant the village of Kajaran
where the area under discussion is located.
Further, Hakobyan spoke about the achievements of the factory during
2011.
"We registered a 25% growth in industrial output and about 40% growth
is forecast next year," said he.
"This year we raised the salaries of our employees which we are going
to do also next year," Hakobyan added.
The area that according to the government decision is set to be used
for mining encompasses 5-6 villages, including Kajaran.
