Yerevan city mayor Gagik Beglaryan welcomed guests from the 2nd
SunChild International Environmental Film Festival on October 29.

While speaking to the guests, Beglaryan noted that though Armenia
adopted the Aarhus Convention which protects the right of all people to
a healthy environment, the public’s attention on environmental issues,
as well as their participation in environmental decision-making,
is somewhat lacking.

Yerevan’s mayor placed importance on cooperation with SunChild festival
Golden Partner Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural
Assets in the Republic of Armenia (FPWC): already there are suggestions
whose implementation, as well as cooperation with the organization,
will promote the population to be more compassionate towards the
surrounding environment alongside planting greenery in Yerevan.

SunChild festival organizing committee submitted a letter of
acknowledgement, printed on recycled paper, to Yerevan’s city mayor
for supporting the festival. In fact, in Yerevan’s city hall, they
are already discussing long-term projects to recycle waste materials,
into paper in particular, which will contribute to resolving numerous
municipal issues, including waste disposal, informs Yerevan city
hall’s information and public relations department.
