SEVAN ISSUE: WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
Years ago when composer Yuri Sahakyan was creating `Arpa-Sevan' he
could not even imagine that the song will become a tool to defend the
Lake Sevan at the building of the Ministry of Diaspora. The matter is
that yesterday the National Assembly of Armenia adopted the project to
get more water from the lake for the irrigation.
Concerned with the matter citizens have been collected at the building
of Foreign Ministry and were aimed to express their attitudes towards
the issue to the representatives of the Diaspora.
The reveal of water from the lake is unacceptable and there is not
scientific proof that the natural climatic changes caused the
decision. Experts found out that drier weather has been fixed a few
years ago. Current decision is under the interest of a few
businessmen, said Sona Ayvazyan, the executive director of
`Transparency International anti-corruption organization'. The
participants of the meeting are aimed to visit the closing ceremony of
`One Nation, One Culture' festival and by this to inform the society
of Diaspora.
