Therefore, we must ensure that the residents and economic entities living on the shores of Lake Sevan, first of all, take care of the cleanliness of the lake water, as well as the cleanliness of its catchment area, to perceive the irreplaceable environmental and economic value of the lake. We have already embarked on a number of processes in this direction, which must be completed logically ".
