The Nature Protection Minister Aramayis Grigoryan expressed his position in his interview with EcoLur on issuing a positive environmental expertise opinion on Amulsar open pit gold mining project.

'The community presents all environmental problems. All the submitted environmental problems are taken into consideration by the environmental experts and invited specialists. If they present that no environmental problem will arise, I should believe them and understand it's like that,' Aramayis Grigoryan said and added, 'Our state has an opportunity to develop. It's wrong not to use our resources....Our resources shall be used and we should not allow the private investors and entrepreneurs to move forward as they won't, they must be guided by the law, that's the qestion. If everyboduy is guided by the law, we will have great successes.'
In reply to EcoLur's remark that the villagers have issued a claim to court against Amulsar project, the Minister said he was not informed about that.
