"The Teghout waste management plan does not take into account the propensity of devastating earthquakes in Northern Armenia. The Teghout mine will include a highly toxic tailing dump along the River Debed. In case of an earthquake, neighboring Georgia would also be affected from a decision that can hardly be called precautionary. This transboundary dimension would affect Armenia internationally as well. Nonetheless, the Ministry of Nature Protection refuses to see this impact across borders."
