KAPAN, MARCH 13, NOYAN TAPAN. On the initiative of the “Nig Aparan”
union and with the participation of other 40 compatriotic unions,
a united tree planting program will be implemented in Armenia
in 2006. This started on March 11 in Meghri. According to Aghvan
Hovsepian, the Chairman of the “Nig Aparan” compatriotic union,
the RA Prosecutor General, it was decided to plant in total 3.2
mln trees, thus ones corresponding to the number of the republic’s
population. “But, I’m sure that we’ll plant more trees this year,” he
stated in the interview to journalists. Tree planting was organized
in Agarak and Kapan as well, and the program will be implemented
later in the regions of Goris and Sisyan, taking into account the
nature-climatic conditions.
