Richard Hide, British deputy ambassador to Armenia, has said "Yerevan
is like an Olympic sportsman without lungs" in a discussion today on
Armenian forests.
"Yerevan’s air is polluted," he said comparing Yerevan with a sportsman
that is forced to smoke 10 packs of cigarettes. Unlike Armenia, in
Britain candidates include environmental issues in their election
campaigns, Hide said.
