Deno Gold Mining is going to expand its production faculties. Nevertheless, the public hearings of the project on the re-equipment of the flotation plant drawn up by “EcoAudit” LLC are carried out with gross violations. Kapan-based NGOs received the notice about the public hearings one day before the appointed date for public hearings itself – 27 April. “For Ensuring Ecological Safety and Developing Democracy” NGO circulated a statement, which particularly says, “The organizers are violating Article 6 (4(2)) of RA Law “On Environmental Impact Expert Assessment”, as well as the provisions of the Aarhus Convention, which lay down time for examining the project. We demand not to violate the law and to postpone the hearings. ” Under the information EcoLur has, the discussions were eventually held on 27 April in Kapan Municipality building, but several public representatives left the hall as a sign of protest.
