5 more public beaches to be established

Upon Armenian President’s order in 2011 and by the Government’s decision, two areas were allocated to establish public beaches around Lake Sevan and, as a result, around 100,000 vacationers made use of these beaches, Ministry of Nature Protection Deputy Chief of Staff Ashot Avalyan stated during today’s press conference. In his words, since these two public beaches were full to capacity, it was decided to establish five more public beaches. The latter, which encompass an area of 16 hectares, were established within the administrative borders of Sevan city.
Avalyan also noted that all public beaches will be free of charge, and that they had never aimed to compete with the paid beaches, but rather they are solving a social problem. Nature Protection Ministry official also informed that the bathroom issue at the public beaches has been resolved.
