YEREVAN, MARCH 31, NOYAN TAPAN. From April Yerevan Mayor’s Office
announces "Clean Yerevan" quarter, which will last until late June. As
Vano Vardanian, Yerevan Deputy Mayor, said at the March 31 press
conference, almost all ministries, prefectures, as well as regional
administrations bordering upon Yerevan will take part in the work
envisaged: the latters will clean the roads leading from Yerevan to
the regions.
According to V. Vardanian, today the problem of rubbish disposal
in Yerevan is one of the most important problems of city
administration. It was mentioned that the rubbish disposal work
done in the 12 communities of Yerevan does not give a satisfactory
result yet. According to him, though more than 90 units of special
machinery were brought by sanitary cleaning enterprises, more than 8000
dustbins were placed in Yerevan in the past two years, nevertheless,
this work is not sufficient and it should be permanent to achieve
complete results.
V. Vardanian also said that a program of study of rubbish disposal
and sanitary cleaning state in Yerevan is conducted on the initiative
of the Mayor’s Office. An interdepartmental working group has been
created by the RA Prime Minister’s order, which will be also engaged
in these issues.
According to V. Vardanian, studies of rubbish disposal are also
conducted by the World Bank at present.
