Every day dozens of trucks loaded with ores and ground taken from Shamlough open mine developed from 2008 by Serop Ter Poghosyan without any license, the owner of Akhtala-based “Metal Prince” Corporation currently charged with sexual harassment, fill them on the inter- and intracommunity roads in Shamlough.
Because of the dust sometimes it’s impossible to breathe in the air of Shamlogh surrounded with forests. Shamlough has turned into a town which environmentally hazardous and full of destroyed buildings.
The Mayor thinks if Shamlough Municipality raises the issue of safe opencast development of the mine, ecological safety of the community and road security in front of “Metal Prince” Company, several dozens of Shamlough villagers will lose their jobs at the mine and Akhtala Ore Processing Combine.
