ArmInfo.The development of the mine of the <Base Metals> company has been suspended in Artsakh. This is stated in the message of the press service of the government of the republic.
<The government of the Republic of Artsakh once again confirms that the mining industry in Artsakh is carried out in accordance with the highest international standards, in accordance with which the norms established by the legislation of the sector have been adopted. However, taking into account the unhealthy atmosphere created by the so-called "eco-activists" of the neighboring country and attempts to mislead the international community, it was decided to apply to international organizations in order to conduct an international environmental review related to the activities of the <Base Metals> company. Together with the management of the company, a decision was made to temporarily suspend the development of the company's mine until the completion of the examination. The Government of Artsakh applied to the relevant UN structures and other international professional organizations in order to organize an examination as soon as possible.
