    The Ministry of Nature Protection just responds to the buildings
    constructed along Lake Sevan's coast, but doesn't provide a final
    solution, said Ecolur NGO President Inga Zarafyan at a press
    conference today.

    As an example, Zarafyan noted the Gegamet Plus CJSC (a mining and
    exploration company) processing plant along Lake Sevan's Shorja coast.

    "We met with Gegamet Plus President Vladimir Gasparyan, [and] spoke
    about the plant's dangers; however, he told us that their activities
    aren't harmful, and the tailings leaked as a result of processing
    include a natural filter and do not pose a threat," explained
    Zarafyan.

    The Ecolur president considered the activities of MIKA Cement as
    likewise dangerous.

    "MIKA Cement company also day and night takes cement from the
    so-called Artanish area, however that area is likewise included in
    Sevan's ecosystem," she said.
