Residents of the Meghri Tashtun village have launched a petition drive to halt the construction of a mine by a Russian-Armenian company called AT Metals Ltd.
When the woman entering the Meghri store owned by Mrs. Alvard noticed my tape recorder, she immediately exclaimed, "While Meghri has become the most cut-off town in Armenia, it is also the most important. Who understands this?"
