and need some fresh revival, Ruben Petrosyan from "Armenian Forest"
state non-profit organization (SNPO) told the reporters today in a
news conference.
According to him Armenia is listed among the countries which have
scarce forests. "There are 70 countries in the world which have scare
forest," Ruben Petrosyan said.
The official says once the forests covered approximately 40% of lands,
but now we have sparse forests. "28% of Armenian forests are sparse,
abandoned," R. Petrosyan said.
