    A conference, dedicated to the 10th anniversary of Aarhus Convention,
    opened in Yerevan today. The conference has been organized by OSCE
    Yerevan Office, UN Armenian representation and RA Ministry of Nature
    Protection.

    Opening the conference, Head of OSCE Yerevan Office Ambassador Sergey
    Kapinos emphasized importance of attracting the public in discussion of
    the key ecological problem available in Armenia. In view of this, the
    ambassador said that it is too important for the public to be informed
    of these problems, availability of which is a serious threat for the
    country able to lead to the internal confrontation and aggravation of
    relations with neighbours. Contamination of the atmosphere and rivers,
    congestion of the motor transport are part of the problems available
    in Armenia. The ambassador recalled that Armenia undertook promotion
    of the "green democracy ". In this respect, it is necessary to assure
    a free access to the information and justice. He emphasized importance
    of creation of 9 information ecological centers in the country, due to
    which Armenia's public will be informed of the ecological processes
    in the country. S Kapinos also said that 4 similar centers more will
    be expectedly created in the near future.

    The diplomat emphasized importance of elimination of the missile fuel
    "Milange". He recalled that ecological organizations of the republic
    have recently scanned Kajaran region and are going to do the same
    in Kapan.

    For his part, Deputy Ecology Minister, Simon Papyan, said that over the
    last two years Armenia succeeded in implementation of its commitments
    within the frames of the Aarhus Convention which it had joined in
    2001. He also added that amendments were made to the Constitution as
    well as to the law-making and normative acts. Moreover, official site
    of Ecology Ministry was created.

    Various programme on different levels to resolve the existing
    ecological problems are being implemented.
