    ASSOCIATION DEVELOPS PLAN TO RESTORE YEREVAN GREEN ZONE

    YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 23, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian
    Association for Sustainable Human Development said
    today it has developed a plan of actions to improve
    the ecological situation in the capital city and wants
    to call it into action in cooperation with the nature
    protection ministry. This plan calls for establishment
    of an inter-agency commission to tackle the problem.
    The Association said they suggest that provisions
    of their plan be taken into account when the division
    of Yerevan into zones be done. Karine Danielian, the
    chairwoman of the Association, described the current
    ecological situation in the capital city 'typical of
    an ecological catastrophe zone,' adding that relevant
    data shows the emergence of smog in Yerevan.
    She said the urban-industrial environment of the
    city is no longer able to self-purify. She said the
    risk of desertification has increased indicated by
    appearance of snakes in the city's streets and yards.
    She said these phenomena affect the people's health
    and cited official figures which say that two third of
    the city's green zone has been destroyed in the last
    years.
