Issues in This Sector Have Been Under Discussion for 5 Years, Yet Solutions Remain Elusive: Pashinyan

We talk a lot about Lake Sevan, whether it's greened or not, but we do not admit that one of the main reasons for its greening is that sewage is dumped into Lake Sevan and it is not being treated. This was stated by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan during a Government meeting today.

“We need to solve the issues related to the cleaning of the waters flowing into Sevan. In general, we need to address the problems of sewage treatment in our country. There are issues in this sector that we have been discussing for 5 years but have not been able to find solutions. In many cases, we must admit that our country lacks the capabilities. Yes, we are a millennia-old people, but let’s admit that we do not know many things. In places where we work with reliable international partners, we are often left speechless when we see how they operate. What takes us months or years, they accomplish in two weeks and present it to us. We need to learn,” he noted.
