    YEREVAN. - An Iranian citizen was rescued from drowning in Armenia's
    Lake Sevan last year, he was subsequently transferred to hospital
    where, however, he died. But no cases of rescuing from drowning and
    actual drowning of foreign citizens are recorded so far this year at
    the Lake, Special Water Rescue Squad Commander, Colonel Samvel
    Lazarian stated during a press conference on Thursday. He added that
    those who are rescued from drowning and who actually drown in Lake
    Sevan are primarily the citizens of Armenia.

    A total of forty lifeguards are on duty at the Lake, and a
    rank-and-file lifeguard's monthly salary is AMD 70,000 (approx. US$
    170).

    Samvel Lazarian also informed that they are distributing flyers at
    Lake Sevan on safe swimming, and are advising not to go into the water
    when drunk and with a full stomach, and not remain too long under the
    sun.
