On 18 November “Environmental Expertise” SNCO of Nature
Protection Ministry issued a positive opinion to Meghrasar open pit
mining project. On 11 November the public sector applied to Nature
Protection Ministry, KfW Bank and WWF Armenia on this mining project,
where the public representatives called for issuing a negative
opinion to Meghrasar gold mining project taking into consideration
the importance of the policy on establishing and expanding specially
protected areas.
WWF Armenia Head Karen Manelyan informed, “WWF Armenia is
ready to hold independent studies of the biodiversity in the area of
Meghrasar mine and to present the outcomes to the stakeholders. The
studies are feasible not sooner than the end of May 2015, as field
trips are not possible till the end of the spring because of thick
snow cover.”
KfW Bank thanked us for the information and promised to pass it to
Nature Protection Ministry and WWF Armenia.
What about the location of the mine in the area of the national park,
the acting staff head of Nature Protection Ministry Khazhak Aghabekyan
said: “…In near future after the approval by the Armenian
Government, the Nature Protection Ministry will present the borders of
“Arevik” National Park and the copy of the area map.”
In his talk with EcoLur environmentalist Levon Galstyan said,
“We will take other measures, for example, we will block the
mine and won’t allow to develop it.”
