Eric Grigoryan: We will do our best to stop additional fences from Sevan Lake

Yerevan November 23

Ani Mshetsyan. Hydroelectric power stations located under the reservoirs produced electricity during those seasons when this was not required, and therefore we carried out additional water withdrawals from Lake Sevan. Acting Minister of Nature Protection Eric Grigoryan announced on November 23 at a meeting with journalists..

He noted that the ministry will do everything possible to stop additional fences from Sevan Lake next year. "According to our calculations, the hydroelectric power stations located under the reservoirs produced electricity during those seasons when this was not required. That is, they used this water in winter. This question consists of several components, it is necessary to clarify the demand, and then to clarify the availability of water", he.

To recall, despite the protests of environmentalists, the National Assembly of Armenia adopted in the second and final reading a draft law on amending the law on Sevan Lake, according to which, in addition to the 170 million cubic meters of water fixed in the law, it is planned to carry out an additional fence from the Lake of another 40 million cubic meters.

“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
