Lake Sevan is a unique natural object that is not only a center for vacation for tens of thousands of people who spend their vacations there every year, but also a major source of sweet-tasting water, and the bioactivity of the Transcaucasia depends on that. This is what Russian cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov wrote on his Instagram, posting a photo of Lake Sevan taken from space. He added the following:

“Lake Sevan is often considered the ‘aquatic pearl’ of Armenia since it is the biggest, high mountainous lake with sweet-tasting water in the territory of CIS countries. The length of the natural dam is 75 km, and the maximum depth is nearly 100 meters.”

“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
