    Recently the regular session of the interdepartmental commission
    on exploitation of the Kashen mine located within the territory of
    Vardadzor, Jankatagh and Nerqin Horatagh villages, Mardakert region,
    was convened. During the open-to-journalists session the participants
    introduced the norms and standards to be used to estimate how the
    land and water resources as well as the flora and fauna of the area
    influence the health of people.

    The environmental influence estimation programme is to be worked out
    until the construction or reconstruction of a new enterprise or during
    the existing factory operation re-equipment and expansion stages.

    The environmental influence of the Kashen mine exploitation will
    have been estimated by the end of the year, the session participants
    informed.

    As leader of the working group Hovhannes Nikoghosyan reported
    before the exploitation of the mine experts would conduct the local
    inhabitants' background health examination and estimation in order
    to register further changes.

    As the leader of the working group assured the flora and fauna
    researches are not complete yet whereas in spring 6 specimens of
    the water reservoirs were submitted to chemical analysis, 18 land
    specimens were studied.

    Head of the Tourism Department Sergey Shahverdyan stated that from
    the point of view of historical environment preservation the area
    had never been researched. He also reminded that only the visible
    monuments were included into the state monuments registry but it was
    not still clear what would be discovered during the explorations.

    Executive Director of "Base Metals" CJSC Artur Mezhloumyan who
    participated in the session assured that the company was ready to
    financially support the research activities and , if needed, to pay
    the expenses for the transportation of the discovered goods. The
    tourism department head in his turn accepted the proposal.

    In answer to the question of one of the journalists NKR Minister
    of Economic Development Karen Yesayan noted that the problem of
    transportation of families to the spot was being discussed. It has
    already been determined to build new houses for seven families in a
    new modern district.
