    KARINE DANIELYAN: OIL AND GAS PROSPECTING NEAR SEVAN WILL BE DEVASTATING FOR THE LAKE

    Oil and gas prospecting near Sevan will be devastating for the lake,
    Head of the Association for Sustainable Development Karine Danielyan
    told ArmInfo.

    Earlier, EcoLur Ngo reported tha the Nature Protection Ministry
    issued a positive opinion to "Blackstars Energy Armenia" LLC for
    prospecting oil and gas in the areas of Hayravanq, Tsaghkashen and
    Noradus villages dealing with fishing in the basin of Lake Sevan. The
    permission is granted for a period of 2015-2016. The activities will
    cost $11 million.

    Meanwhile, Armenian environmentalists already alarm of the possible
    impacts of the prospecting. "First, it runs contrary to the Law
    on Lake Sevan. Second, we can already see the negative impacts of
    oil prospecting in the Caspian Sea. We are sure that such activity
    will be disastrous for Lake Sevan," Danielyan said. She is sure that
    environmentalists will not allow oil and gas prospecting to be launched
    in the basin of the Lake.
