implemented in the capital, instead of 30 thousand trees planned for

Nor Nork, 49 thousand trees and 25 thousand bushes have been already
planted there. Planting of trees continues in other communities,
too, and in total, about 90 thousand trees will be planted by
late May. R.Kosemian said that by the program of planting trees in
Yerevan, starting from 2004, the work has been implemented by about
60%. In 2005-2007, in total, green zones with a square of about 260
hectares will be restored in Yerevan. About 16 thousand trees have
been already planted in the territory near the restaurant "Paros,"
in the Park of Victory and in the Nor Nork community. According to
R.Kosemian, for the purpose of protecting the green zones, this year
the Mayor's Office will allocate 200 mln drams (about 445 thousand
USD) for the repairs of the irrigation network with a length of 20
