YEREVAN. – One third of drinking water of the Armenian capital city
will be contaminated in case mines of neighboring Abovyan and Hrazdan
cities are exploited, president of Ekolur NGO Inga Zarafyan told the
journalists on Thursday.

Other experts are also concerned over mine industry.

“Hrazdan city is surrounded by various dangerous objects. Gold mining
plant is being built there in addition to that. It will have tailing
dump, which is also dangerous,” the environmentalist Ruben Yadoyan
told and added that gold is mixed with poisoned objects in mines,
and all polluted materials remain in Hrazdan.

He stressed that people who learn the methods of mine exploitation in
Armenia are being stunned as open exploitation of mines has devastating
effect on the soil and water of the area.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
