    OSCE Office helps promote environmental awareness in Armenia's
    regions

    YEREVAN, 10 November 2006 - As part of its environmental activities
    in Armenia, the OSCE Office in Yerevan will co-host an
    awareness-raising event in the province of Aragatsotn tomorrow.

    The event, which has as its goal the eventual clean-up of the area
    surrounding the village of Artashavan, will be attended by 15
    non-governmental organizations' representatives and 25 volunteers. It
    is organized by the OSCE Office, the Public Environmental Information
    (Aarhus) Centre in Lori, and the NGO Compatriot Unity.

    The participants will be briefed on the Aarhus Convention and its
    principles, problems related to environmental security and the OSCE's
    engagement in this field. They will also learn more about regional
    history, which is tightly connected with the development of the
    Armenian alphabet.

    In addition, they will pay a visit to Saghmosavank, where the
    so-called Monastery of Psalms of the 12th century is located.

    The OSCE Office in Yerevan supports the establishment of a network of
    Aarhus centres in the regions of Armenia to promote the Aarhus
    principles. Currently, there are five centres in three provinces of
    Armenia and one in the capital, Yerevan.
