The expertise of Fioletovo gold mining project has been suspended
based on the solicitation of "Grade Redmet" company, as Henrik
Grigoryan, Deputy Direction of "Environmental Expertise" SNCO of
Nature Protection Ministry stated at the meeting on 23 January.
Under the press release of the Public Council, the company reached
this conclusion taking into consideration the negative opinion of the
local population about the mining project.
During the discussion four committees of the Public Council opposed to
this mining project taking into consideration cultural and historical,
soil and environmental problems of the mining project.
Yuri Javadyan, the member of the Public Council, Chairman of
Agricultural Committee, urged "Grade Redmet" company to submit a
closed mining project, which will enable neutralizing possible damage.
The representative of "Grade Redmet" company noted that they can't
implement the project without the consent of the community residents
at the same time raising the question of damages. As a positive side
of the mining, he outlined the presence of the working places.
The negative decision of the Public Council members will be submitted
to Public Council Chairman Vazgen Manukyan, as well as Armenian PM
Hovik Abrahamyan.
