To Deno Gold Mining Company
Two candidates are running in the September 9 election for mayor of
Kapan: Artur Atayan from the ARF and Ashot Hayrapetyan, a member of
the Republican Party of Armenia.
We are deeply concerned that foreign companies are playing a role in
local Kapan politics.
On September 2, during the campaign of ARF member Artur Atayan
and Kapan's Deno Gold Mining Co., a subsidiary of Canada's 'Dundee
Precious Metals, are organizing a concert with the participation of
Tata Simonyan.
We are not worried that Artur Atayan is organizing a concert with
the participation of Tata Simonyan (this is the accepted trick of the
campaign), but we think it is unacceptable in this stage that a foreign
company or foreigner is financially assisting a local candidate.
The "Kapan Residents Determine Their Own Future" initiative strongly
urges the administration of the Kapan Deno Gold Mining Company to
refrain from any form of financial or other support to any candidate.
Otherwise, we will view it as a state, national security problem.
