On July 10-20 "Lake Sevan" 15th international chess tournament will
be conducted in Martuni, Armenia. Olympic Champion Smbat Lputyan,
the first deputy of the president of chess federation said that the
tournament is devoted to the memory of Armenian GM Karen Asryan.

"We have been always succeeded in being leaders in chess tournament
but in the tournaments held in the end of previous year and in the
beginning of this year our chess players do not manage to express their
abilities," he said. In this regard they hope that the tournament
organized in Martuni has more chances to show the potential of our
chess players.

and Georgia are to take part in the tournament. Armenia will be
presented by 10 players.
