As it is mentioned on Datalex.am website, judicial information system, in MaxInfo’s Facebook group entitled "Be Maximally Informed" on 25.02.2019 Lika Svasyan posted "When Lydian Armenia transfers money to Luys Foundation, “environmentalists” shout it is corruption. And when Zangezur factory transfers so many millions to the Prime Minister's wife fund, according to the "fighters" it is all right. Why don't they give interviews, write statuses? If Lydian is not allowed to develop the mine, this will once again show that the problem is really of a political nature ... ". Under this post the respondent (ed. Shirak Bunityan) left the following comment, “Do not forget that Zangezur factory has been swallowing Syunyats mountains for many years. [The company] donated a few kopecks from its profit. Whereas Lydian is still in the construction phase, when it announces that it needs an additional fifty million to be able to operate the mine and transfers money to Serzhik’s fund, which is indirect corruption."
