The inter-ministerial government commission on Sevan has seen progress
in the issue of raising Lake Sevan's level, said commission member and
For Sustainable Human Development NGO Chair Karine Danielyan at a
press conference today.
"When two years ago, the [Armenian] government approved a decision to
lower the level of Lake Sevan so that the adjacent buildings won't be
disadvantaged, we decided to raise our voices since lowering the
lake's level can
raise numerous ecological problems," said Danielyan, adding that
regretfully, they weren't able to apply appropriate measures, prior to
raising the lake's level, in resolving the issue of waste and green
spaces.
"A large quantities of green spaces were submerged, which can be a
basis for stagnation, as well as garbage along the shore was
submerged," added the environmentalist.
