PM Pashinyan: At least, at the moment wehave no information on violation of any rule (video)
"If all the processes of Amulsar happened during the period of our governing, I would not want such a mine to exist," PM Pashinyan said. "In the system of state administration, emotions are inappropriate, if we do something illegal in this situation, we can face very difficult problems," said Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Jermuk, at a meeting with representatives of "Lydian Armenia" and demonstrators who are against the exploitation of Amulsar mine. "We must receive answers to the following question: first, that the exploitation of the deposit will affect the water system and the second, that it will not have any effect. The same applies to the impact on Jermuk." "If all the processes of Amulsar happened during the period of our governing, I would not want such a mine to exist in Jermuk," PM Pashinyan noted. "This proces started long agoe, twelve years ago, if all the processes of Amulsar happened during the period of our governing, I would not want such a mine to exist. But today are in a situation when a huge amount of expenditure has taken place, and it was done by the permission of the RA de jure government. At least, at the moment wehave no information on violation of any rule." "Inspections have started and must continue. Regardless of the inspections, my visit is effective because we have come to the essence of the issue," said Pashinyan. "We have understood the position of all sides, the issues will be discussed with the government representatives, taking into account the facts, the government will express its position," he concluded.
