    climate change, preservation of ozone layer, forest, water,
    biodiversity, persistent organic pollutants, fish and birds of

    year the publications were enriched by 6 new posters and 4 brochures:
    our environment and the Aarhus Convention, specially protected
    natural areas, earthquake protection, and alternative energy.

    Head of "Khazer" NGO Amalia Hambartsumyan noted that the program has
    been implemented from 2003, 100 copies of 11 posters and 14 brochures
    have been published within this period. 400 schools of general
    education have already received the completes. The OSCE Office in
    Yerevan allotted $4.000 for publishing the second completes, she
    noted.

    Welcoming the activists of Armenia's ecological movement, Head of the
    OSCE Office in Yerevan Vladimir Pryakhin named the program the
    "family holiday". He stressed that "titanic efforts of ecological
    society do not go out in Armenia until the people of this country
    live in harmony with nature". Pryakhin also noted that the OSCE
    welcomes the ecological initiatives in Armenia and will continue
    supporting them.
