Major ecological problem for our country is the exploitation of mining
and the activities of metallurgical enterprises, says Inga Zarafyan,
the head of "Eco-lur" information NGO, during a round table discussion.

According to her if the responsible bodies believe that the development
of economy should be organized in this way, then they should implement
it through modern technologies. "For the accurate exploitation
of mining modern technologies are needed, but we don’t have such
technologies," she says. Currently the NGO implements "S.O.S. Sevan"
project against gold mining in Sotk, near Sevan.
