Though the Ministry of Nature Protection of RA says speaking about changing the Argitchi riverbed flowing into Lake Sevan is unsubstantiated, environmentalists insist the water-carrying system being built on Gayladzor stream of the Argitchi River can leave five villages in Gegharkounik Region without any water.
Recently the Nature Protection Ministry has received a letter from “EcoLur” Informational NGO, as well as from the residents of Geghhovit, Madina, Verin Getashen, Nerkin Getashen and Vaghashen Villages about the civil works aimed at changing the Argitchi riverbed and directing water to Vayots Dzor.
