of Sevan will discuss the problems of the lake.

As ArmInfo correspondent reported, director of the ‘Sevan’ National
Park, Ashot Gndoyan, told journalists that they are going to discuss
with the president the problems of purification of the border sectors
of the lake and the problem of fighting poaching.

but also the law-enforcement agencies should deal with these problems.

Raising of the water level of the lake Sevan is one of the main
problems, he said and added there is no relevant equipment to save

to buy the relevant equipment’, – Gndoyan said.
