The other day, a press conference was held in Yerevan, where the results of some studies were presented: "The impact of the mining industry on the quality of life of women." The goal was clear. to show how "sick" mining is. However, it is noteworthy that there was no mention of any serious professional study, it was the impression that people were asked on the streets, how are you, and if people mentioned that they sometimes feel bad , their heads hurt, they considered it a negative influence of the mining industry. In other words, we are dealing with conclusions based on assumptions. Moreover, one of the participants of the press conference himself says that there is scientific research in Armenia less.
In addition to the fact that such discussions and "studies" do nothing but damage to our country, there is also another remarkable circumstance. This press conference was held in Azerbaijan immediately after the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention, COP29. , which was another "opportunity" for Azerbaijan to speak out against Armenia. We had the opportunity to inform that Azerbaijan has appealed to the Hague Court, alleging "illegal exploitation" of energy resources by Armenia. Moreover, the Foreign Ministry of that country issued a statement on the matter and stated that "Baku will continue to take measures to receive compensation for the violation of its sovereign rights by Armenia." In general, Azerbaijan, which is qualified by various international organizations as a state presenting a serious ecological threat, regularly tries to present Armenia as a country that harms nature.
Moreover, the target of their attack is not only the Armenian nuclear power plant, but also the mining industry of our country. It is clear that Azerbaijan is trying to attack the economy of Armenia, the backbone of which is the mining industry, and the energy independence, which is largely ensured by the Metsamor NPP used COP29 to a great extent. And not only for these purposes, COP29 has become a platform for its anti-Armenian, anti-Armenian propaganda In particular, an event dedicated to the management of "transboundary waters" was held, the "Azerbaijani Yerevan" event was held in the "Green Zone" of the conference, an artificial, blatantly false film about the "ecocide" in Artsakh and "Eastern Zangezur" was shown. ", an exhibition was organized, during which the attendees were presented again with fabricated numbers allegedly of "Armenian aggression" and as a result of it, Azerbaijani regarding victims.
The head of the Azerbaijani ombudsman's office participated in the side event on "Ensuring children's right to health in the context of climate change" within the framework of COP29, during which he also spoke about the "environmental crimes" committed by Armenia in the "occupied" territories of Azerbaijan for many years. He also did not forget about the Armenian nuclear power plant, noting that it is "unfit for operation and seriously pollutes the environment, has become a source of potential danger not only for Azerbaijan and Armenia, but also for the entire region." Hikmet Hajiyev, the assistant to the President of Azerbaijan, was naturally not left out of the anti-Armenian campaign.
And in general, during the days of the conference, both the Azerbaijani press and the public sector actively voiced the official informational lies against Armenia. It seemed that, at least in such conditions, the Armenian society, or rather, at least the part of the society that could form content and public opinion in the context of the information conflict. , has a mission to analyze and convey professional information, to convey the truth to both our, Azerbaijan and international communities, but unfortunately, some circles continue in our reality They pretend to be "more Catholic than the Pope" and actually feed the mill of Azerbaijan. We have already mentioned one of them in the form of a press conference and "questions". We repeat, such steps only harm our country.
In that case, why is such a fuss being made? Of course, not Armenia and the population of Armenia. Moreover, Armenia's economy, which is heavily dependent on the mining industry, is being attacked in this way to point out that this is really a matter of national security.
