The illegal construction of an ore-processing facility by Russian
company has triggered strong reactions from environment protection
groups and residents of a village in the northeastern Gegharkunik
province, Armenia Liberty.org reported.
According to ecologists and villagers, the Armenian subsidiary of the
Russian industrial group GeoProMining (GPM) is exploiting Armenia's
largest gold mines by building this facility.
The environmentalists claim that this facility would create havoc on
the mountainous village of Sotk and nearby Lake Sevan., which play
a vital role in the country's entire ecosystem.
The area around Sotk has substantial gold deposits that are controlled
by an Armenian subsidiary of GPM.
