YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 6, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA government's decision on operation of Teghut mine cannot have legal grounds, as it has been made on the basis of forged documents. Hakob Sanasarian, the Chairman of the Union of the Greens, stated at the November 6 press conference adding that the project of Teghut mine operation contradicts the RA Constitution and a number of other laws. According to him, non-precise data on environment's damage as a result of mine operation are presented in the project. H. Sanasarian said that by Teghut mine's operation Armenia will irretrievably lose thick natural forests with rich biological variety. According to him, besides deforestations, non-cut forests of environment will be also seriously damaged during the mine operation. It was also mentioned that pollution and destruction of most important water emergence systems is also inevitable there. H. Sanasarian expressed the hope that the RA government and Prime Minister will reconsider that decision. "Otherwise we will apply to the court," he said.
