Shnogh residents have addressed a letter to Andrey Sorokin – the Head of the OSCE Office in Yerevan in regard with Teghout copper and molybdenum mining project, which says, ““Teghout” CSJC is implementing the development of copper and molybdenum mine near Shnogh and Teghout communities, which has profoundly deteriorated the nature in both communities and the quality of the flowing water. There are sufficient grounds to suspect that the tails produced by the ore dressing plant directly flow into the river, which irrigate our orchards. The pollution of the river water with mining wastes can cause damage to the property and health of the community residents.
As the OSCE has been dealing with the conservation of environment for many years, has sufficient experience and ties with field-specific experts, so we would like to ask you to provide our professional and organizational support through your experts to determine the pollution of the water, as well as to assess economic, social, health damage caused to two communities because of the mining project implementation.”
