A group of Jermuk residents filed a lawsuit against the Armenian Minister of the Environment Erik Grigoryan.

The third party is the Finance Ministry, the Lydian Armenia company and the SNCO of environmental impact assessments.

The plaintiffs demand that Erik Grigoryan be obliged to declare invalid the conclusion on the environmental impact of the modified project of the Amulsar mining complex and its approval signed on April 29, 2016.

The interests of 19 residents of Jermuk are represented by lawyer Nazeli Vardanyan. The case is pending before Judge Artsrun Mirzoyan.

“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
