The Pan-Armenian Environmental Front has urged the Prosecutor
General's Office to inquire into the illegal construction of a
processing factory in the village of Tashtoun, Syunik region.
The environmentalists say that the owner of the project, AT Metals
LLC, has no documents authorizing it to carry out earth moving and
concrete casting work in the area.
This fact has been proved by the Urban Development Ministry, which
urged the company on July 12 to stop the illegal construction and to
eliminate its consequences. Relevant materials were sent to the police
of Syunik region.
But the work is still underway.
"While our authorities are feigning efforts to stop the activity, the
project is being continued. On July 27 Hayastani Hanrapetutyun
newspaper published an ad saying that the prefect of Tashtoun Mr.
Gabrielyan was going to sell 2,155 h of public land for a factory to
be built in the area. This proves that instead of fulfilling the
authorities' instruction to stop the project, Gabrielyan entered into
a criminal conspiracy with AT Metals and is trying to help the company
to get land for its illegal endeavor," the environmentalists say.
Earlier Ecolur reported that AT Metals was planning to extract gold
and silver in Meghrasar complex deposit.
