Swedish environmentalists stage demos against Amulsar project
Environmental activists in Stockholm, Sweden, held another protest action on February 26 against the so-called Amulsar project submitted by the Lydian International Limited Company. Every week, Swedish environmentalists stage protests outside the Swedish parliament voicing their concerns over mining operations in Armenia, the Pan-Armenian Environmental Front said thanking their Swedish partners for understanding and support. Earlier in February, members of S.O.S Amulsar initiative disseminated an article among Gndevaz community residents which was entitled “Amulsar: Profitable or Lethal Cyanide.” In the article, the group informed residents of the real hazards of Amulsar gold mine and Lydian’s plans to construct a heap leach facility in the area of the orchards in this village. “LYDIAN GO HOME!”, “No to Cyanide” signs were placed under “Welcome to Gndevaz” sign on the gates of Gndevaz community.
