On 19 August the National Assembly of Armenia is to discuss in its
special session the question of releasing certain amount of water from
Lake Sevan for irrigation, said Andranik Andreasyan, the chairman of
Water Network State Committee of the Territorial Administration in
a briefing after the Government session.
Note that on 24 July the Government of Armenia made a decision to
in crease the number of released water of the Lake Sevan for the
irrigation in 2008.
According to Andreasyan, the amount of water released from the lake
is not sufficient for the irrigation, as the irrigation season in
2008 started earlier than in usual. Hence, the decision is made to
escape wheat problem.
