    ARKA
    Sep 30, 2011

    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.
