On June 5, the International Day of Environmental Protection, Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan participated in Clean Motherland action foreseeing refuse collection at Hrazdan gorge.

“Clean Motherland is an important project. We should take action to implement this initiative also in Armenia’s regions,” stressed Sargsyan.

The Prime Minister also referred to the problem of cleanness of Hrazdan gorge’s territories owned by enterprises. He said that it is important to toughen measures against those citizens, who do not respect their Motherland.

A representative of the Armenian Ministry of Nature Protection reported to Tigran Sargsyan on programs implemented on June 5.

The June 5 action marked the start of Three Bridges project, a part of Clean Motherland national program developed by an interdepartmental group. The program envisages implementation of ecological projects throughout Armenia.

Clean Motherland program is coordinated by the Armenian Ministry of Nature Protection in partnership with the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Yerevan Mayor’s Office, Miasin and Clean Yerevan NGOs, World Wildlife Fund, youth wing of the Republican Party of Armenia, as well as professional structures and enterprises operating at Hrazdan gorge. New refuse bins, as well as plates of Hrazdan gorge’s flora and fauna are scheduled to be set as part of the program.

Control over the cleaned territories will be implemented upon completion of the program, the press service of the RA government reported.
