communities in Armenia give mining companies the boot
communities in Armenia give mining companies the boot The Jermuk petition had two main demands. The first was to adopt a resolution banning prospecting and any metallic mining operations in Jermuk Community.
The second demand was to develop a comprehensive project to create an ecologically sustainable and green economy for Jermuk and the wider Vayots Dzor Province, which would be implemented by state authorities and local government bodies in cooperation with local communities.
The process of door-to-door signature collection kicked off in November 2018 and within a couple of weeks, the organisers had collected roughly 3,000 signatures, representing a majority of residents in the Jermuk Community.
