Commemora tion tree-planting is due in Tsitsernakaberd on April 22,
when 95 trees brought from Western Armenia will be planted. The event
will be held by World Wildlife Fund, VivaCell-MTS and Armenian Genocide
Museum-Institute, the three initiators said at a joint conference on
Earth Day events.

The chairman of the World Wildlife Fund Armenia R. Khachatryan
said a tour to Western Armenia had been organized to carry out the
tree-planting. The tour took 4 days instead of the scheduled 14.

Unique sorts of trees have been brought from Western Armenia,
particularly ever-green ones.

The director of the Genocide Museum-Institute Hayk Demoyan said the
institute is also a green territory of 100 hectares, which makes
half the green space of the Armenian capital and they are intent to
preserve the green space, like VivaCell-MTS Company, led by corporative
policy ideology.

"There is a still untouched archaeological territory in
Tsitsernakaberd, and we are planning to carry out excavations there.

The name of Tsitsernakaberd dates back to ancient times, it is a unique
site, a monument of Bronze Age, partially dug only," H. Demoyan said,
referring to the planned joint projects with VivaCell-MTS.

Thus, soon Tsitsernakaberd will also become a cultural complex.

Note that the World Wildlife Fund and VivaCell-MTS have initiated
"Green Generation-2010" campaign, dedicated to the "Earth Day" events,
underway for 40 years by now. The events will be held in the capital
and the regions of Armenia.
