Environmentalists will hold a march from Constitution Square of Hrazdan city to the iron ore at 12:00 on October 25.

EcoLur reports that the purpose of this action is to get acquainted with the current processes taking place at the iron ore and convey the concerns of citizens of Hrazdan to those planning on exploiting the ore.

Currently, the Chinese Fortune Oil company is conducting geological research at the iron ore in Hrazdan. The iron ore is located in Hrazdan city. The exploitation of the ore causes a threat to the ecological state of Hrazdan and the pollution of drinking water sources located just 600-700 meters away from the ore. Those sources provide drinking water not only to Hrazdan, but Yerevan as well.
