ArmInfo.The Prosecutor General's Office of Armenia appealed to the National Security Service with a request to check information on corruption schemes in the development  of the Amulsar field.

The head of the department of public relations  of the RA Prosecutor General's Office Arevik Khachatryan wrote about  this on her page on the social network Facebook "The Prosecutor  General's Office sent mass media reports on offenses containing  elements of a crime to the National Security Service, in particular,  Facebook's social network ex-head of the environmental inspectorate  Arthur Grigoryan and political scientist Hayk Martirosyan. These  records were sent to the SNB to verify the circumstances contained  therein. "- emphasized Khachatryan.

It should be noted that a protest rally against the operation of the  Amulsar mine took place in Yerevan on August 19. Armenian Prime  Minister Nikol Pashinyan received the protesters, however, the  meeting did not satisfy the latter, after which Pashinyan actually  gave a green light to the field's operation during a live Facebook  broadcast.

In turn, the former head of the environmental inspection Arthur  Grigoryan wrote that the main lobbyists for the development of  Amulsar in the government are Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Avinyan  and Head of the Office of the Prime Minister of Armenia Eduard  Aghajanyan. Grigoryan accused them of putting pressure on the prime  minister to invalidate the inspection reports issued by the  environmental inspectorate.  Grigoryan emphasized that the results of  the examination conducted by the Lebanese company Elard are  fictitious. The ex-head of the inspection notes that all this time  the citizens of the country were misled, which is explained by the  usual corruption scheme.

The same position was also expressed by political analyst Hayk  Martirosyan, who, unlike Grigoryan, did not cite facts, writing only  about corruption in the mining industry.
