ArmInfo. Mass elimination of fish has been fixed in Hrazdan river.
As EcoLur told ArmInfo, a s.o.s. signal was received on January 23.
When we reached the scene, Arzni Gorge, we saw the river bottom full
of dead fish, crabs and frogs. It was already the third day the Sevan
gulls have been feeding with the fish having risen to the surface. The
Territorial State Environmental Inspection of the Ministry of Nature
Protection of Armenia went to the scene. Under the inspector, the
initial checkup showed that approximately 500 m of the river zone
was affected. 'I hope that this really has a local nature", the
inspector said.
By EcoLur's request, the Deputy Head of the State Environmental
Inspection Karen Papoyan advised that at present the Ministry of Nature
Protection of RA is conducting the analysis of the water samples
taken from the Hrazdan River and the dead fish. "We will inform the
public about the analysis results through the mass media," Papoyan
said. Under him, the results will show what the scales of the accident
are and what other departments should be involved in this process.
