ArmInfo.Lydian Armenia is forced to react to yet another absurdity about the company that appeared in the Azerbaijani press. This is stated in the message of the company.
In general, the prospects for the exploitation of the Amulsar mine, the largest investment program in Armenia, have always worried Azerbaijan, and the program was in the focus of attention of the Azerbaijani press. And now they are spreading rumors that Lydian Armenia allegedly applied for the exploitation of the mines controlled by Azerbaijan in Artsakh. Of course, it does not, and can never have any connection with reality.
However, it is curious that some Armenian newsmaking sites harnessed to spread Azerbaijani misinformation about the country's major international investor in Armenia. It is clear that Azerbaijan is outraged by investments in Armenia, but it is alarming that even after the war, our country can still be targeted by a large international investor, ignoring the importance of investments for ensuring the security and development of the country's economy, the Lydian Armenia states.
Note that in early February, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced that the Government intends to return to the discussion of programs in the field of the mining industry, including the problem of the Amulsar mine. But in this matter, a balanced approach will be needed, taking into account all aspects. It should be reminded that the Amulsar gold deposit is the second largest deposit in Armenia. The mine is being developed by Lydian Armenia. According to the company, the deposit contains about 73,733 kg of gold with an average grade of 0.78 g per tonne, as well as 294.367 tonnes of silver with an average grade of 9.29 grams per tonne. It is located in the southeast of the country, 13 km from the resort town of Jermuk, in the interfluve of the Arpa and Vorotan rivers.
