Today, environmentalist Karine Danielyan told a news conference that it is encouraging that for the first time the government discussed issues that have been voiced for years, referring to yesterday's government decision on release of water from Lake Sevan for irrigation purposes. "We have said this for years, but we have not seen any change. It was good that yesterday, the members of the government were worried about the issues voiced by us," said Karine Danielyan. According to experts, Lake Sevan is in extreme condition and the new amount of release of water from Lake Sevanwill further deteriorate the lake's condition. "We cannot consider Lake Sevan any time. We must save the Ararat Valley, but Sevan is not an option," says Evelina Ghukasyan. According to her, after the death of algae, the amount of oxygen will be very small, which will affect the lake's fauna. More information is in the video.
