MINISTER WOULD LIKE TO DESIGNATE 2010 AS YEAR OF NATURE PROTECTION

Tert.am
25.12.09

The end of the year is commemorated not only with festivites, but also
with ministers presenting reports on their activities over the year.

Today, it was RA Minister of Nature Protection Aram Harutyunyan’s
turn: as with all the other ministeries, Harutyunyan noted that all
the planned activities of this year were carried out and the year
was productive.

In praising the outgoing year’s activities, the minister noted
a number of events that contributed to the implementation of the
outgoing year’s activities. For one thing, Sevan and Dilijan national
parks received certificates from the Cadastre in 2009.

In Harutyunyan’s words, 2009 was successful from the standpoint
of creating special protected areas; for instance, the creation of
Arpi and Arevik national parks, as well as the designation of nature
reserves.

Speaking about the coming year, the minister said that he would like
to designate 2010 as the year of nature protection.
