In regard with Amoulsar project of gold mine development, the social networks and comments to the materials published by EcoLur keep on discussing the issue that negative assessments of this project don’t have environmental, but political implication, and that NGOs fulfill the order of several politicians who want to remove international company, Lydian International, and to mine gold by themselves in Amoulsar.
We are also concerned and call for all public activists, politicians, and international organizations to protect environment and to support to establishing “Jermuk” National Park, where not only Jermuk, but also adjacent villages such as Gndevaz, Saravan, Kechout, Saralanj, Gorayk and state wildlife preserves. Our genuine wealth, water and land, will be preserved. People won’t think what to do when gold will finish in 15 years and only tails and dumps will be left instead of amazing nature, fields and meadows.
The concept of setting up a National Park complied with the program of developing Jermuk resort zone and to ensure long-term investments.
Below we present the video material where field researchers share with their plans. In July, the new stage of studies in biodiversity will start in Vayots Dzor Region, in the surroundings of Amoulsar. As WWF Expert Field Researcher Alexander Malkhasyan told EcoLur, “In July, we are going to continue our studies in this very territory together with my Russian colleague. In the course of the discussions (we speak about the discussions of Amoulsar project on 21 May) we spoke about Amoulsar, but if there are any problems, they refer not only to this section. The surroundings may also suffer, such as Syunik plateau and Vardenis mountain range. It’s necessary to conduct the studies of this territory; this is one of the most interesting corridors of passage, for the example, for the Asian leopard. ”
Anush Nersisyan, Researcher at Institute of Botany, PhD in Biological Sciences, “This territory is inhabited by 38 plant species, out of which 26 are registered in the Red Book of Armenia, while two species are classified as extinct…If it comes to the replanting of these species, this is not a way out.”
Eleonora Gabrielyan, Researcher at Institute of Botany, Dr. in Biological Sciences, who described the plant species on Amoulsar, “I myself described these species and several of them were included in the Red Book.”
