ArmInfo. EcoLur told ArmInfo that on 22 February "For Ensuring
Ecological Safety and Developing Democracy" NGO brought an action
against Deno Gold Mining Company to the Court of General Jurisdiction
in Syunik Marz. Particularly, the organization demands the court to
obligate the company to submit information about the check results
conducted by the State Environmental Inspection of the Ministry of
Nature Protection of RA in 2009.

In November 2009 with the support of "For Ensuring Ecological Safety
and Developing Democracy" NGO 28 residents of Shahumyan Region of
Kapan Town brought an action on threat to life and health to the
Administrative Court of General Jurisdiction in Syunik Marz. The
problem is as follows: the territory of Shahumyan Region is a danger
zone as under this region are situated the mines and galleries
developed by the company. On 17 February 2010 Director General of
Deno Gold Ð~Jining Company Robert Faletta and Irina Manukyan, the
plaintiffs’ barrister, signed a friendly settlement on the behalf of
20 plaintiffs. Under this friendly settlement, the owners’ property
in the danger zone will be up for sale by 31 March, while the company
in its turn obliges to obtain this property at market prices. The
other 8 owners refused from the friendly settlement and called back
the legal action.

"For Ensuring Ecological Safety and Developing Democracy" NGO says,
the outcome of this proceedings and the court impartial decision in
a success no only for the NGO and people, but for Deno Gold Mining
Company itself.
