We have clearly stated that the exploitation of Amulsar will be acceptable for us only after having clear professional guarantees that the mine exploitation does not harm Lake Sevan, My Step bloc leader, acting PM Nikol Pashinyan said at the campaign today in Gavar, referring to the situation over Amulsar.
“A criminal case has been filed. A leading international organization will be involved as an expert. The expertise will be conducted on the highest professional level. Armenia will not save money from state budget for carrying out this expertise. After we get convinced that Amulsar is no threat to Lake Sevan and Jermuk water reservoir the exploitation of the mine will be acceptable for us,” Pashinyan said, adding that they cannot carry out this project with closed eyes until they are convinced that it does not strategically harm Armenia.
