Electronic database on Lake Sevan to be created and launched

YEREVAN, September 4. / ARKA /. The Armenian government has approved
today a decision on creation and launch of an electronic database on
Lake Sevan.

Nature protection minister Aramais Grigoryan said the database will
include up-to-date information on the results of monitoring of the
lake and its water outlet area.

“This is expected to improve the effectiveness of measures aimed to
address the problems of the lake,” he said.

Lake Sevan is the main source of drinking water in the region and one
of the largest alpine lakes in Europe and Asia. It is located in the
heart of the Armenian highlands, at an altitude of 1914 meters.

Its length from north-west to south-east is 70 kilometers, and its
water surface area is about 1.5 thousand square kilometers. -0-

“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
