    GNDEVAZ VILLAGERS ADDRESSED OPEN LETTER TO OSCE AMBASSADOR ON AMULSAR

    A group of Gndevaz Villagers, Vayots Dzor, has addressed an open letter
    to the OSCE Ambassador Andrey Sorokin in regard with Amulsar project,
    which says, "Dear Ambassador

    "Lydian International" Company intends to mine gold in the area
    adjacent to our community called Amulsar. The company intends to carry
    out open pit mining and heap leaching for ore processing, which is
    the most hazardous method for human health and environment. The heap
    leach plant, under the project, will be located in Gndevaz community.

    As there are disagreements with project both within our community and
    between neighboring communities, the World Bank - a shareholder to
    "Lydian International" Company, want to hold public discussions with
    Gndevaz villagers on the hazards of the abovementioned mining project.

    Nevertheless, our community doesn't have experienced experts in mining,
    who can submit subject-matter substantiations on geology, geochemistry,
    legal and other issues.

    Taking into consideration within its authorities the OSCE has been
    carried out activities of environmental protection in Armenia for many
    years and has sufficient experience and professional potential, we
    would like to ask you to support us with specialists to get independent
    opinion on probable damage to be caused to Gndevaz village, as well
    as other communities and Lake Sevan by Amulsar mining project. Your
    support is very important and urgent for us, as public discussions
    are planned to be held with the World Bank experts in February."
