    Arminfo. As Ecolur reported, heavy machinery entered the pesticide
    burial ground in Voghjaberd, and as a result, the burial ground cover
    was leveled with the earth, the protective layer was harmed, the
    integrity of capacities near the burial ground surface with 2-meter
    depth was disturbed. A cloud of toxic substances was spread in the air.

    It should be noted that more than 500 tons of expired and banned for
    use pesticides with high concentration of chlorine, phosphorus and
    other toxic elements and compounds were buried in this burial ground.

    In her interview with EcoLur Chairman of "Armenian Women for Health
    and Healthy Environment" Elena Manvelyan said that at least four state
    departments should deal with the security issues of the burial ground
    the Ministry of Emergency Situations of RA, the Ministry of Nature
    Protection of RA, the Ministry of Health of RA and the Ministry of
    Agriculture of RA. "We have raised this issue for several times and
    the only reply we got was the situation is under control. We think
    this control should be exercised straightaway. First of all, the local
    population should be protected from the toxic substance having been
    emitted in atmosphere among which one can find such toxic substances
    as phosgene gas used as a chemical weapon during World War I," Elena
    Manvelyan said.
