Citizens of Yerevan today held a cycling campaign in support of those fighting against exploitation of the Amulsar gold mine.

With shirts reading “Save Amulsar”, the participants of the demonstration read the following with a microphone: “We all need to protect Amulsar, Amulsar won’t be a mine, Amulsar, only a mountain”.

The citizens rode from the area near the sport-concert complex and passed through the major streets of Yerevan, reading the message and calling on citizens to join the fight against exploitation of the mine.

The citizens had organized another cycling campaign a week ago, but police officers had apprehended the participants before they had even begun.
