OSCE Secretary General Marc Perrin de Brichambaut, who is on a two-day
visit to Armenia, applauded the imminent start of the recycling of 872
tons of mélange rocket fuel.

“The mélange project in Armenia is an outstanding example of what
practical co-operation between the OSCE and a participating State can
achieve and could well serve as a model throughout the OSCE region,”
he said during a visit to the disposal site in Kaltakhchi, a village
in Armenia’s northern Lori province.

`Thanks to the OSCE’s support, we were able to start this initiative
that will improve environmental safety and thereby the security of
Armenia’s population,’ added the Armenian Defence Minister, Serge
Sargsyan.
