John Evans, the US Ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary, planted a
pine tree in the Aragatsotn region Karin village. He confessed that this is
the first tree he has ever planted in Armenia. The event of the
Tree-Planting day was organized by the office of the program
«Armenia-Tree-planting». On their initiative this year in Armenia 90
thousand trees will be planted dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the
Armenian Genocide.

Ambassador Evans said that in the State Virginia there are still the
mulberry trees planted in 1619 by the first Armenian named Martin.
