90 THOUSAND TREES ON OCCASION OF 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
Faithful to the tradition, this year "Armenia. Tree-Planting" program
celebrates the Day of the Earth by organizing a public tree planting.
Last year, in Dzoravanq, one of the remote villages of Gegharqunik, a park
of 0,8 hectares was established. This year, on the Day of the Earth's
Protection, John Evans, US ambassador to Armenia, RA ministers, USAID and
the Peace Corps officials participated in the tree-planting activities in
Karin village, Aragatsotn marz.
"Armenia. Tree-Planting" program was initiated by the donations of the
Diaspora Armenians. 600 thousand trees were restored in 500 dwelling places
of Armenia, including the territory stretching from Gyumri to Goris. The
office of the program decided to plant 90 thousand trees in commemoration of
90th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
