As part of the strengthened services, police will maintain public order at beaches, along roadway sections, and in areas surrounding tourist attractions.

The Gegharkunik Provincial Police and its divisions will carry out enhanced services in the coastal areas of Lake Sevan and on the province's road sections. The special water rescue squad of the Gegharkunik Provincial Police will be on duty with all personnel at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd public beaches, while the personnel of the Rescue Service will operate in the coastal zone of Lake Sevan in the Shogakat community of the enlarged Chambarak community.

Let’s not disrupt the festive atmosphere of the day, but rather work together to prevent possible incidents.”
