Prince Charles' visit to Armenia promising - NGO chairman
11:45 - 02.06.13
Chairman of Armenia's Consumers Association NGO Armen Poghosyan thinks
that Prince Charles' visit to Armenia is promising.
`Prince Charles is not coming to Armenia everyday, it is an honor to
us,' he said speaking to Tert.am.
As to the protests of a group of citizens over the visit of the
Prince, claiming he has arrived to open Amulsar gold mine, Poghosyan
said that the political level of Great Britain creates more effective
conditions for cooperation and Armenia's economy will only benefit
from it.
`Till now enterprises of unknown origin and unknown capital are
operating in off-shore zones and the third figure of the British
Empire inspires me hope,' he said, adding that the Prince is
environmentalist too.
Asked whether it is a right thing to sell everything to foreigners,
the NGO chairman said that it is bad. `We must reach a phase when the
lawmakers register that the enterprises be joint, not to allow them
exploit our mine alone,' he stressed.
Armen Poghosyan noted that the nature has given mines that must be
exploited and those who think the opposite do not think sensibly as
our wealth in the world trade is our mental potential. `Not exploiting
mines will mean deadlock development,' he said.
