    YEREVAN CITY HALL TO BEGIN CITY GREENING PROJECT FUNDED BY FACTORIES' 'POLLUTING FEE'

    Tert.am
    13:21 11.02.10

    Yerevan City Hall will begin planting of greenery and shrubs in the
    Armenian capital thanks in part to the nature preservation fees that
    Yerevan factories that pollute the air are required to pay.

    Head of Yerevan City Hall's nature protection department, Avet
    Martirosyan told Tert.am that "city greening" projects have been
    designed for the Shengavit and Erebuni administrative districts,
    including constructing the irrigation system, planting trees, and
    restoring lawns.

    The project also includes the creation of green spaces in Shengavit
    and Erebuni in 2011.

    By creating more outdoor green spaces, "it will make it possible to
    ease the negative effects on the environment [caused by polluting
    factories]," said Martirosyan.

    Among those factories that are considered pollutants in Yerevan are
    Nairit Factory, Yerevan JEK, Maqur Erkat (Pure Iron), Gajegorts,
    Gaj and Armenia Molybdenum Protection.
