According to RA Minister of Nature Protection Aram Harutyunyan,
there are still industrial reserves of white fish.

The minister informed journalists today that fingerlings (recently
hatched fish) have been discovered as a result of this year’s
investigations into Lake Sevan, adding that the exact count of the
fingerlings will take place in the coming year.

Harutyunyan also turned his attention to the unlawful sale of fishes
and their spawn. For instance, in some marketplaces, caviar of the
fish Ishkhan (literally, "prince") is being sold. These are not from
Lake Sevan, advised the minister, but rather have been raised in
unnatural environments. According to Harutyunyan, the ministry is
keeping a close eye on the matter.

The minister of nature protection also presented the latest data
on Lake Sevan’s rising water level: in 2009, the water rose by 40
cm. For comparison purposes, Lake Sevan’s water level rose only by
about 6 cm in the previous year.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
