PAP MP Sergey Bagratyan during discussions on taking water from Lake Sevan expressed an opinion that this process directly hits tourism.
According to him, the reason is just that we do not make the right calculation, and in the case of loss of up to 70% we continue the practice of taking water from Lake Sevan.
“We give 7 billion 650 million drams of water, to earn a possibly half a billion of farming profits. We spend 7 billion to get a half a billion.”
