Lawyer Arthur Ghazaryan said that about 11 thousand people took part in the signature collection event in Kapan. “The Mayor of Kapan and Syunik governor stand against uranium extraction,” he said. The suit will be likely filed next year, the reason being full public unawareness and absence of international expertise regarding safety of the extraction works.
