Annually about 20,000 new cars enter the capital
2980 trees and bushes have been planted in all the administrative districts of the capital. 1720 trees have been pruned, a new irrigation system has been built, noted Avet Martirosyan, Head of the Environmental Protection Department of Yerevan Municipality. He also added that there is no developing city, which doesn’t have environmental problems. “Transport is one of the main reasons causing air pollution, annually about 20,000 new cars enter our city. That’s why new express roads are built, because if there are few traffic jams, air is less polluted. Gerar, Hrazdan River are cleaned twice a year and it is also one of the main problems, which we are able to solve,” said Head of the Environmental Protection Department. Much attention is also paid to the operating factories, so that they are reequipped and the filters are constantly changed in order not to pollute the air. Ecologist, President of “Association for stable human development” NGO Karine Danielyan touched upon the flowering of Yerevan and noted that she had never seen Yerevan so flowered.
