Kajaran issue remains unsolved
The residents of Kajaran village are resolute and won't leave their village. This is what head of Kajaran village Rafik Atayan told "A1" and added that the current issue remains unsolved.
A month ago, Rafik Atayan sent a letter to Serzh Sargsyan on the villagers' behalf with the demand to recognize the RA Government's April 28 decision as invalid. According to that decision, the farms of several villages of Syunik province, including Kajaran have to be handed over to the Copper-Molybdenum Factory in Zangezur for open mine exploitation and the expansion of the cemetery of toxic wastes.
The village head says the villagers won't leave the village, even if they are given adequate compensation.
"If we leave, what should we do with the tombs of our fathers and grandparents?" said Rafik Atayan in closing.
