Concerned over revelations in the August 15 Hetq article “Metal Prince Mining Dumps Its Waste In Debed River”, Heritage Party MP Anahit Bakhshyan went to see Aram Harutyunyan, Armenia’s Minister of Environment, for some answers. Armed with research results carried out by the Ministry’s Environmental Inspectorate, Mr. Harutyunyan replied that the photos appearing in the Hetq article had no relation whatever with the tailings dam in Ayrum-Tchotchkan. Rather, he claimed that what was depicted in the photos were water pipes constructed back in 19995 that now are located on Metal Prince property. The pipes, Minister Harutyunyan said, are used for rain run-off and to remove the company’s water surpluses.
