YEREVAN. - There are twenty seven official places for waste in ninety
two communities near the lake Sevan in addition to uncontrolled waste
dumps. According to Armenian Ministry of urban development, those
places do not meet ecological and hygienic criteria. Dumps around
lake Sevan are sources of pollution of water, soil and air and prevent
the reconstruction and protection of ecosystem of the lake Sevan.
The share of azoth, phosphor and other toxic materials increased in
the lake.
The Ministry of urban development presented a new scheme of places
for waste near the Sevan to the government discussion. There will be
only five places for waste, from where it will be taken to special
