    The Yerevan city council has assigned a specialized committee to
    regulate, as well as show a professionally grounded and unified
    approach to sanitary tree-cutting and trimming.

    The committee comprises correspondents of Yerevan city council's
    department of environmental protection and the environmental protection
    program at OSCE Office in Yerevan, representatives of the RA Ministry
    of Nature Protection and "Orhaus" informational-analytical centers,
    as well as researchers and assistant researchers from Yerevan State
    University and the Botanical Institute.

    According to the press release of the municipality, the committee has
    completely studied the state of trees on Zakyan and Khorenatsi streets,
    as well as Myasnikyan and Isakov avenues. The trees on Khorenatsi and
    Zakyan Streets were mainly ash-trees and were planted in the period
    between 1950 and 1955.

    According to conclusions by professionals, the roots of those tree
    types are fully destroyed. There are deep hollows and notable cracks
    that have debilitated the growth of roots.

    Ash-trees live up to a maximum of 45-50 years, but they currently live
    up to 50 years. Such trees are a potential danger to road accidents
    and human life. In order to avoid that, according to the specialized
    group's conclusion, a decision has been taken to cut these trees and
    plant new ones.

    The issue of trees on Myasnikyan and Isakov avenues mainly refers
    to the black poplars. The trees were planted from 1955 to 1960 and,
    based on the specialized group's conclusions, need to be rejuvenated.

    Observations have shown that black poplars have mainly outgrown. Their
    roots are superficial and as a result, these trees often fall down
    due to strong winds and cause accidents. The rejuvenation of these
    trees will ensure their security and raise longevity," as stated in
    the notice by Yerevan city council's department of information and
    public relations.

    After project implementation, there will be 70 rejuvenated and 90
    new trees in Yerevan in 2010.
