Mr. Pashinyan, if you want the mine to be operated, be kind enough to come and live in our village with your family and, if you have grandchildren, bring your grandchildren as well. This is what one of the environmental activists performing on-duty service in the area near the Amulsar gold mine said today.

According to the on-duty environmentalist, the Prime Minister has been cheating them for the past seven months. “He’s cheating us. Now he’s saying that we have our interests. We have no interests at all. We bring our food and drinks and spend the night here.”

According to one of the on-duty environmentalists, the statement that there can’t be any damage doesn’t correspond to reality. “We have seen the dust and contaminated waters during construction. An expert came for an inspection once and conducted the inspection for half an hour. How can an expert inspect 140 hectares in half an hour?”
