EBRD Shares Responsibility for the Amulsar Mine Crisis

[AniSeize]

Lydian, servile media and EBRD itself, boasting of applying so-called “high international standards,” nothing else but the investment standards of the bank, are now face up to the termination of construction works by the people of Jermuk community and the overall resistance to opening a mine in the region. EBRD was well aware, that Performance Standard N 7 of its 8 investment standards, the one on the Indigenous people, was omitted by Lydian under the justification that there are no indigenous people in the area of the mining project, therefore there is no need to take measures to consult indigenous people and protect their interests. The mindset the company and the bank hold is, perhaps, one according to which indigenous are those peoples who have been oppressed or driven to extinction by colonizers. This is in itself a colonial mindset and accordingly, a colonial language which has turned against the company and bank engaged in modern economic colonization.
