    BEST WAY TO PRESERVE BIO-DIVERSITY IS TO BROADEN PROTECTED AREAS: ARAM AGHASYAN

    The cartography and reviewing of protected areas in Armenia are in
    process, head of the Specially Protected Areas Division at the RA
    Ministry of Nature Protection Aram Aghasyan told journalists at a
    press conference today.

    In his words, cartography and reviewing of those areas will make it
    possible to organize their protection more effectively.

    Aghasyan didn't deny that the protection of certain reserves in
    Armenia is carried out today on paper only.

    "We shouldn't forget that we live in a limited area, and we also have
    social problems," Aghasyan tried to justify himself.

    According to Aghasyan, new protected areas (75,000 hectares) were
    designated last year. They are Lake Arpy, Arevik national parks and
    Zangezur state reserve.

    "The best way of preserving bio-diversity is to expand the specially
    protected areas," said Aghasyan.

    Armenia has 4 national parks and 30 state reserves.
