The Deputy Minister of Emergency Situations and Director of the Rescue Service, Colonel Kamo Tsutsulyan, has ordered that from July 1 to August 31, the special water rescue unit of the Gegharkunik regional Rescue Department will conduct round-the-clock duty at the public beaches No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 of the ‘Sevan’ National Park to ensure the safety of holidaymakers.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations has reported that in order to carry out a safe holiday season and to organize the service properly, rescue checkpoints equipped with water rescue materials and necessary equipment will be deployed at the three public beaches of the ‘Sevan’ National Park.
