This is very serious issue , and it does not seem to be taken as such . your forests are depleted , the illegal chopping of trees is still going on in the rural areas of Armenia even though there are designated areas legally for the purpose of heating and cooking ,
And it is discusting what is happening in Yerevan around the Opera house , where have all the lush grean trees gone to ? all cut down to make room for coffee houses .those mature trees can never be replaced , trees have so many purposes , to name a few , such as they provide shade , beauty , keep the dust down and protect the envionment and many more , in a city such as Yerevan where trees are so few ,stop destoying what there is . we are closly involved with Armenia Tree Project, so I am well informed and it saddens me .this issue is the responsibility of every Armenian , not just the govenment

Thanks for your prompt answer. Hopefully, in the near future Armenians come to understating of the important role of each and single tree. With numerous benefits we receive from trees there are more, such as: noise reduction, carbon absorbing/clean air supply, ozone protection, fruit harvest (which is a main source of income for many villagers and citizens, why not)... dust and other pollutors' barier, soil erosion prevention, wind protection, forests network development (every tree in its root influence another by creating kind of a vital link to continue through the forest and start a new one), production/industries, fuel, medicine, wood and paper, wild life saving, fertile farmland, parks and play grounds for kids and many more...

Sevana, what is your relation to ATP? Are you involved in a partner organization ?

btw, for all interested forum people: www.armeniatree.org
there are volunteer possibilities and job openings (2), including Environmental Education (EE) specialist.

CAR SERVICE INSTEAD OF 17-YEAR-OLD PARKS

«If they want to chop down the trees, let them do so, but please leave one so that we can come and hang ourselves here after the trees have been chopped down», said the residents of the Yerevan Zaqaria Sarkavag street 151/1, 151/3 and 151/4 houses during the act of complaint today.

The history repeats itself. The problem of the Sebastya areas has not yet been solved when these areas have deserved the same fate. As the owner of the land Souren Egiyan is telling, there were no parks near their building for the children to play, so they brought the necessary cars, gathered stones, planted trees and cultivated the area.

Two years ago the residents of the building applied to the community head in order to privatize the park created by them 17 years ago. But without letting them know the community head sold the area in an auction to the “Tigran” LTD to build a Car Service Complex. The participants of the meeting mentioned that the above mentioned LTD belongs to a NA deputy.

The residents of the building had applied to the Court of First Instance and won the case, but the community head re applied to the Court of Appeal and won the case. Now the residents have decided to go even to the Euro court. Besides, they have also applied to NA and to the President, but all in vain.

By the way, let us mention that 13 non-governmental organizations, such as “Hope”, “Mijnaberd”, “Spiritual Armenia”, “Armenian Committee of Helsinki Civic Assembly”, are going to send an open letter to the RA NA President Arthur Baghdasaryan, RA Attorney General Aghvan Hovsepyan, RA Ombudsman Larissa Alaverdyan, RA Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan, asking to cease the violation of the rights of the RA citizens, and stop selling the areas by closed auctions.
