Shnogh residents have addressed a letter to Andrey Sorokin -
the Head of the OSCE Office in Yerevan in regard with Teghout
copper and molybdenum mining project, which says, ""Teghout" CSJC
is implementing the development of copper and molybdenum mine near
Shnogh and Teghout communities, which has profoundly deteriorated the
nature in both communities and the quality of the flowing water. There
are sufficient grounds to suspect that the tails produced by the
ore dressing plant directly flow into the river, which irrigate our
orchards. The pollution of the river water with mining wastes can
cause damage to the property and health of the community residents.
As the OSCE has been dealing with the conservation of environment for
many years, has sufficient experience and ties with field-specific
experts, so we would like to ask you to provide our professional
and organizational support through your experts to determine the
pollution of the water, as well as to assess economic, social,
health damage caused to two communities because of the mining project
implementation."
Below we present the photos provided by Teghout Support civic
initiative taken on 28 January
