The Amulsar gold mine project represents one of the most pressing challenges to biodiversity conservation and environmental democracy in Armenia. It has also become the focus of one of the country’s longest-running environmental struggles. Tomorrow, the issue of developing the Amulsar gold mine will be brought to the forefront of discussions.
The event will be held under the title “The Amulsar Gold Mine Case in the Context of COP17 Biodiversity Commitments.”
