SEVAN “LIBERATED”

Regions

Thanks to the warm air which entered the Gegharqounik region for the last few days the lake Sevan was «liberated» from the ice layer. The fish species of the lake, and particularly the whitefish which is on the brink of extinction, managed «to have a rest» for only 3-4 days as unregulated fishing has already restarted in the lake.

The press has mentioned recently that the Minister of Ecology Vardan Ayvazyan signed an order according to which in 2006 fishing will be prohibited in Sevan for a whole year. Nevertheless, it is not mentioned when the order will enter into vigor. In the meantime illegal fishing continues in Sevan, and the governor of the Gegharqounik region has not received an order about the prohibition.
