    YEREVAN. - One third of drinking water of the Armenian capital city
    will be contaminated in case mines of neighboring Abovyan and Hrazdan
    cities are exploited, president of Ekolur NGO Inga Zarafyan told the
    journalists on Thursday.

    Other experts are also concerned over mine industry.

    "Hrazdan city is surrounded by various dangerous objects. Gold mining
    plant is being built there in addition to that. It will have tailing
    dump, which is also dangerous," the environmentalist Ruben Yadoyan
    told and added that gold is mixed with poisoned objects in mines,
    and all polluted materials remain in Hrazdan.

    He stressed that people who learn the methods of mine exploitation in
    Armenia are being stunned as open exploitation of mines has devastating
    effect on the soil and water of the area.
