  • Liana Hovsepyan, one of the former employees of Lydian Armenia company, told reporters that they have not been working for a long time because of a group of activists; the mine has not been operating since 2018.

And Armen Melkumyan, the lawyer of Lydian Armenia's former employees, informed that the lawsuit of 36 ex-employees had already been submitted to the administrative court, and the first court session will be on August 6. "Another 86 people have joined this lawsuit. Our demand is to recognize the inactivity of the mine as illegal. (…). If there will be no judicial act in our favor, we have the opportunity to submit this lawsuit to the ECHR."
