17:57 | March 17,2014 | Politics
On 17 March the public addressed a letter to Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan in regard with the projects to be implemented in Lake Sevan,
Ecolur reports.
The letter particularly says,
"Dear Mr. President
We are appealing You as a guarantor of the national safety and rule
of law in Armenia.
In 2009, you demonstrated political will and banned the implementation
of the project to transfer gold extraction facility from Ararat to
Sotq, which posed huge risks for Lake Sevan. Nowadays Sevan is again
exposed to irreversible risks, risks that two governmental resolutions
bear. First, to make amendments to RA Law "On state complex program
on the recovery, preservation, reproduction and natural development
and usage of Lake Sevan ecosystem", which say to make annual water
outlets from Lake Sevan from 170 million cubic meters to 240 million
cubic meters. Secondly, the complex program on recovery of trout
reserves and developing fish breeding in Lake Sevan.
These two projects contradict to RA Law 'On Lake Sevan', which aims to
conserve Lake Sevan as a national and strategic priority of Armenia...
Mr. President, we think these two project should be stopped
demonstrating political will and deeply grounded scientific approach,
as only in this case we will preserve our national treasure and the
strategic reserves of freshwater unique for all the humanity.
