Protest against copper mine exploitation held in Armenia’s Lori
Residents of the Margahovit community in Armenia’s Lori Province on Friday staged a protest against the exploitation of a copper mine near the village.
Citing media reports, the protesting residents said starting from today public hearings on the mine operation are set to be held in the settlements of Debed, Yeghegnut, Vahagni, Vahagnadzor and Margahovit.
They expressed regret that supporters of environmental programs are now not against public discussions on the operation of the mine.
“There are so many mines in Lori Province alone, what should we do other than opposing [the exploitation],” said one of the residents.
