Around a week ago, a group of foreign tourists cleared the garbage near the Temple of Garni located in Armenia’s Kotayk Province on their own initiative.

Swiss, Swedish, and Indian youths also cleaned up the Azat River around the temple from trash, Apaga platform said in a Facebook post.

“These young people proved that nature is part of us all, regardless of nationality and origin.

“As a local, how do you feel when outsiders seem to care more about Armenia's environment than locals?” the post read.
