At today’s cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan instructed
Energy Minister Arsen Movsisyan to invite Heritage Party MP’s for a
discussion on the on-going debate regarding mining operations in the
southern Armenian village of Kajaran.

PM Sargsyan requested that Movsisyan draft a review of the MP’s
concerns and possible solutions.

Heritage Party MP’s had petitioned the government to review its
decision to hand over hundreds of hectares of community lands to a
mining company under eminent domain.
