Kyrgyzstan: Does Torpedo Testing Pollute Unique Lake? · Global Voices
Alexander Sodiqov

Blogger Ilya Lukash writes [ru] about a Soviet-built facility on the shore of Kyrgyzstan's unique mountainous lake Issyk-Kul. The facility is apparently used by the Russian navy to test torpedoes in the lake. Angered by the pollution that the facility might have caused to Kyrgyzstan's prime tourist area and natural reserve, the blogger asks why the country's MPs, media, and environmental NGOs do not do anything to assess the damage.
