The project for cleaning Yerevan Lake will be started in 2008, says
the head of the Yerevan Munucipality’s department for development,
construction and housing Frunze Basentsyan.
The final estimates will be made when the municipality receives the
findings of the US Embassy, whose building is located on the shore
of the lake.
For the moment, the municipality is building a new drain line for
cleaning Hrazdan, a river flowing into Yerevan Lake.
The project for Yerevan Lake cleaning was to be launched last
year. Then Yerevan Mayor Yervand Zakharyan said that the project would
last for three years. He said that there are over one million c m of
silt in the lake and the lake is in a bad ecological state. The US
Embassy is also involved in the project.
