Located in Varzgan, East Azerbaijan region, the Andrian Gold Mine is one of the most valuable and well-known mines in the country.
75 percent of it was given to a Russian company. The company is engaged in extracting gold from the mine by investing.
The Andarian Gold Mine has 31 million tons of gold reserves, measuring 120 hectares and 5 percent.
It is clear that 75 percent of this valuable ore was given to Russia on the basis of behind-the-scenes agreements. It is clear that Russia’s support for the Iranian regime and the Assad regime in Syria is based on Russia’s financial agreements and trade with Iran.
The Russian company refuses to hire locals.
One of the challenges facing activists in the region’s population and environment is the extraction of gold from the mine using cyanide. Cyanide poses a serious threat to the health of residents, as well as the environment.
In addition, the Garadagh forests are being cut down and destroyed in order to plunder this mine faster and at a lower cost.
The head of the Russian company, Saykhanov, threatened the Iranian regime that if the unauthorized population was not prevented from digging, it would suspend operations and demand compensation from Iran.
Local officials in South Azerbaijan remain silent and even cooperate.
All the people of South Azerbaijan must support and protect the people of this region by taking control of the situation in Andarian.
For these reasons, it is likely that in the coming days the Iranian regime will open a criminal case against the people of Andrew and put pressure on them. But these robbers must know that the people of South Azerbaijan will not pass over themselves and will protect their wealth.
