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.
