armenpress: LIVING IN YEREVAN BECOMES HAZARDOUS, NGO SAYS

YEREVAN, MARCH 16, ARMENPRESS: A coalition of 28 nature protection non-governmental organizations, united in Yerevan Ecological Alliance, warned today that living in Armenia’s capital is becoming gradually hazardous, following mass logging of trees in public parks and building the vacated areas with cafes and other entertaining facilities.
Sona Ayvazian, one of the seven members of the Alliance’s board said today: “We have neither forests, nor parks, the only green area in the capital is the Botanic garden in which many species are drying up.”
