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.
