    ARMENIAN PRESIDENT TO SOLVE FIOLETOVO GOLD MINING PROBLEM

    12:23 March 18, 2015

    EcoLur

    The situation in Fioletovo community, Lori Region, is tense again. As
    it turns out, Fioletovo gold mining is on the agenda again. This
    it's not the competent ministries, which deal with this issue, but
    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, as Stepanavan Aarhus Moordinator
    Manya Meliqjanyan informed EcoLur. She advised that on March 13 Ivan
    Sevyonov, Member of the Public Council for National Minorities of
    Armenia adjunct to Staff of Armenian President, informed Fioletovo
    community residents that the mining is on the agenda again. Ivan
    Sevyonov noted that the package is with the Armenian President,
    who will give a solution to this issue.

    Reminder: Fioletovo community has opposed to the mining from the
    very beginning outlining that the village will be destroyed, if the
    mine opens.

    We learn about real owners of "Grade RedMet" LLC from the mass media:
    "License on prospecting the area in the village by "Grade RedMet" LLC
    was issued in 2005. The founders of the company are Hasmik Harutyunyan,
    Mairen Batoyan and Vardan Markaryan. The permit for geoprospecting
    was issued to the company when Nature Protection Minister was Vardan
    Ayvazyan, currently an MP and Chairman of the Standing Committee on
    Economy. Hasmik Harutyunyan is Yervand Hovhannisyan's wife, who held
    the position of Head of Mine Surveyor Control Department at Nature
    Protection Ministry during Vardan Ayvazyan's office. Mairen Batoyan
    is Vardan Ayvazyan's wife's friend and his countrywoman. Vardan
    Margaryan is the owner and director of "Meghradzor Gold" Company
    developing Meghradzor mine.

    Vardan Ayvazyan owns several mines and has already sold his rights to
    developing Hrazdan iron mine, Svarants and Abovyan mines to Chinese
    "Fortune Oil". The Chinese got from Ayvazyan an expired documentation
    package for Hrazdan mine. People in Fioletovo say the Chinese also
    deal with transaction (information is not checked). We don't exclude
    that the Chinese will try to compensate their damage from 3 huge but
    non-perspective iron mines with small gold mines."
