PanARMENIAN.Net - Today, Lake Sevan encounters serious economic and
ecological danger, according to Andreas Ghukasyan, coordinator of
Legal State Citizens' initiative.
"Simultaneously with raising the water level in the lake, as a
result of which 15-20 cm of shore areas go under the water each year,
it is necessary to carry out purification works to avoid bogging,"
Ghukasyan said during a discussions on corruption issues.
He also warned that frog may replace trout and whitefish as the symbol
of the lake.
In response to this announcement, representatives of the RA Ministry
of Nature protection said that this year too they will continue
purification works of shore areas using modern technologies.
In 2011, it is planned to purify from forest 283,3 hectares of shore
areas of the lake . In 2010, 174 hectares were purified, of which
167,3 hectares were cleaned completely, while purification of the
rest 6,7 hectares was transmitted to the program of 2011.
This year two free of charge public beaches will be created in the
recreational area, allowing citizens to rest freely on the shore of
the lake. With this aim the government allotted AMD 62 million for
construction works and AMD 4 million for design works.
