In response to an entry published on the Internet under the heading "about 1.5 hectares of forest were destroyed on the territory of the Sevan National Park at the beginning of the Sevan-Gavar highway," we consider it necessary to explain the following:
On May 19, 2022, a competition was announced for the organization of water recreation, landscaping and maintenance of public beach N5, among other beaches.
On June 9, the commission reviewed the submitted applications and recognized one of the investment programs as the winner.
The beach is located on the coastal part (1.37 ha) from the Sevan-Gavar highway within the administrative boundaries of the Sevan community, the locality of Lchashen.
The beach in the direction of the province is used by other tenants.
Prior to the start of work on the improvement of the Sevan National Park, research and inventory were carried out.
And the work on clearing the forest layer on the territory is regulated in accordance with the legislation.
the Territory is spared exclusively from sea buckthorn bushes and shrubs, no trees were cut down.
The cleaning work was carried out by specialists of the Sevan National Park.
We also inform you that misinformation and various speculations regarding the maintenance of public beaches periodically appear on social networks.
In order to protect our citizens from unnecessary speculation, we would like to inform you that the process is in the focus of the Ministry of the Environment, strict requirements are imposed on investment programs and everything possible is being done to organize a beach holiday properly and in accordance with all standards.
