Lake Yerevan is polluted by over 12,000 tonnes of garbage, causing alarm amongst the city’s residents. The river which feeds into the lake is significantly polluted, with sewage and other waste ending up in the lake’s waters. The Yerevan Municipality has announced its intention to clean the lake up, but work is yet to commence. CivilNet’s team went to investigate how exactly the cleaning works will be organized and how further pollution will be prevented.

“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
