The damage caused to the Debed River in the result of the recent
accident at Akhtala mining and concentration plant is still unknown.
Head of Lori Municipality's Agriculture and Nature Protection
department Artak Demirchyan told Lragir.am that the damage is still
to be calculated.
Note that on February 8, the tailing dump of Akhtala mining and
concentration plant was damaged and wastes penetrated to the river.
Artak Demirchyan says they have been to the scene and will return
there to find out the situation.
The specialist noted that the pollution of the river impacts negatively
both on the fauna and the flora of the territory.
Demirchyan noted that the plant is fined every year for breaking
nature protection norms.
Environmentalist Hakob Sanasaryan thinks such activities should be
condemned by law. He warns that waste has always gone into the river.
According to him, the utmost punishment is that owners of the plant
offer bribes to the officials. He says that if the law is not reviewed,
Armenia will have no future, since always more and more mines are
given licenses.
