ECOLOGISTS OFFER ALTERNATIVE TO YEREVAN MINING CONFERENCE GUESTS
YEREVAN, March 25. /ARKA/. Environmental activists protesting against
the conference entitled "Responsible Mining in Armenia" held today
in Yerevan offer guests to participate in "Irresponsible Mining"
conference instead, outside Armenia Mariott Hotel.
The international conference on capacities and challenges for mining in
Armenia is held by the WB and Armenia's government, with assistance
from the EBRD, the IMF, embassies of the USA, Great Britain and
Germany and the Canadian government.
This conference is a step to legalize ruthless robbery of Armenia's
natural resources by foreign corporations patronized by the Armenian
authorities who hide the real damage for the environment and human
health, one of the activists Artur Grigoryan said at the conference.
Grigoryan said companies from the US, Great Britain and Canada are
operating or planning to operate Armenian mines. The companies are
still operating and speaking about "responsible mining", despite
numerous violations of the international law, poverty growth and
damage to human health, Grigoryan said. -0--
