Fishing to be banned in Lake Sevan on December 8-25
Lake Sevan and the rivers flowing into it on December 8-25 was announced at a consultation in the regional administration of Gegharkunik province yesterday. An action plan based on the order was discussed at the consultation attended by Deputy Chief of the Armenian Police Samvel Hovhannisyan, Deputy Governors of Gegharkunik Andranik Hakobyan and Karen Hakobyan and other officials, the regional administration said.
By December 8, it is planned to remove all fishing nets from Lake Sevan and mobile homes from the lake shores and establish round-the-clock control on the lake, in markers and points of sale, at some sections of motorways and roads leading to the lake.
The deputy police chief expressed hope that joint efforts will produce the desired result – to reduce poaching to a minimum.
