    Yerevan City Hall to Begin Greening Project

    Feb 11th, 2010 |

    YEREVAN (Novosti-Armenia), February 11'Yerevan City Hall will begin
    planting of greenery and shrubs in the Armenian capital thanks in part
    to the nature preservation fees that Yerevan factories polluting the
    air are required to pay.

    The head of Yerevan City Hall's nature protection department, Avet
    Martirosyan told Tert.am that `city greening' projects have been
    designed for the Shengavit and Erebuni administrative districts,
    including constructing the irrigation system, planting trees, and
    restoring lawns.

    The project also includes the creation of green spaces in Shengavit
    and Erebuni in 2011.

    By creating more outdoor green spaces, `It will make it possible to
    ease the negative effects on the environment [caused by polluting
    factories],' Martirosyan said.

    Among those factories that are considered pollutants in Yerevan are
    Nairit Factory, Yerevan JEK, Maqur Erkat (Pure Iron), Gajegorts, Gaj
    and Armenia Molybdenum Protection.
