YEREVAN, September 30. /ARKA/. Third public beach in the Armenian Lake Sevan will open next summer, said Deputy Ecology Minister, Coordinator of public beaches Ashot Avalyan.
In summer 2011, two public beaches were open where about 110 thousand people had their rest. The first beach can place from 1000 to 1500 people at once. It has a territory of about 1.4 ha stretching 356 meters. The second beach has a territory of 69 ha, stretching 201 meters, can place 1000 people.
“Activities on the establishment of the third beach will start this year. Urban Construction Ministry of Armenia allocated 65 territories for beaches, of which selection will be made”, said Avalyan in the press-conference on Friday.
He said that of these 65 territories in future the most suitable territories for opening new beaches will be selected.
Lake Sevan is one of the largest mountainous lakes in Europe and Asia located in the Armenian highland with a height of 1914 meters. Sevan attracts tourists with its beauty. Sevan is also famous for its fish, particularly trout which Armenians call “ishkhan”(which means “prince”).
The lake stretches from north-west to south-east more than 70 kilometers. Its area of water table reaches 1500 square meters. It is the main resource of drinking water in the region. By 2030 the lake level will be increased to optimal 1903.5 m. -0-
