ArmInfo. The recovery work at Tsitsernakaberd Park dedicated to the
Armenian Genocide victims will continue in 2008.
As Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Hayk Demoyan told
journalists, Tuesday, a total of 4500 trees and bushes have already
been planted in the park. In 2007 large-scale clean-up activity was
also carried out in the park: construction and sanitary waste was
carried away from the park by several lorries. According to H.Demoyan,
a new 20 ha irrigation system is also nearing completion. "The
energy crisis in 90s resulted in deforestation of the park. In this
connection, we are going to continue the recovery work in 2008,
too. In addition, we also intend to involve landscape designers in
the future", he said. H.Demoyan emphasized that the recovery of the
Tsitsernakaberd Park is especially significant as the park is the
largest green zone in Yerevan. "The recovery of green massifs will
have a positive effect on the ecology of Yerevan", he said.
