    The inter-ministerial government commission on Sevan has seen progress
    in the issue of raising Lake Sevan's level, said commission member and
    For Sustainable Human Development NGO Chair Karine Danielyan at a
    press conference today.


    "When two years ago, the [Armenian] government approved a decision to
    lower the level of Lake Sevan so that the adjacent buildings won't be
    disadvantaged, we decided to raise our voices since lowering the
    lake's level can
    raise numerous ecological problems," said Danielyan, adding that
    regretfully, they weren't able to apply appropriate measures, prior to
    raising the lake's level, in resolving the issue of waste and green
    spaces.


    "A large quantities of green spaces were submerged, which can be a
    basis for stagnation, as well as garbage along the shore was
    submerged," added the environmentalist.
