Hrachya Avagyan, Dr. in Geological Sciences, is sure that no oil will
be prospected in Lake Sevan basin. "The whole basin of Lake Sevan has
lava origin. I don't think an oil mine will be prospected. Still in the
Soviet period 108-100 wells were drilled to find oil in the territory
of Armenia, but nothing was mentioned about Lake Sevan basin. It's
senseless to speak about oil. I'm sure they won't find it," said
Hrachya Avagyan in his interview with EcoLur.
As it's known "Blackstars Energy Armenia" LLC is going to prospect oil
and gas in the areas of Hayravanq, Tsaghkashen and Noradus villages
dealing with fishing in the basin of Lake Sevan. The public hearings
of the project submitted by the company were held in Gavar Town on
30 January. Only Tsaghkashen community was aware of the hearings out
of all project affected communities: two representatives of the rural
municipality took part in the hearings.
"It would be good, if they prospect oil and gas, it will save our
village," Tsaghkazhen Community Head Seryozha Sargsyan said in his
interview with EcoLur. Noradus Community Head Murad Harutyunyan
also didn't oppose to prospecting oil in the area of its community,
"Is there anything bad? We will be a rich village." Only Hayravanq
Community Head David Badoyan was concerned, "It won't be desirable
not to have it in the plough land areas."
