`ITALIAN’ TREES IN ARMENIA

The quantity of the threes growing in Armenia increased today. The Italian
Ambassador to Armenia, Marco Clemente planted a ceremonial tree in Malatsia
Sebastia Community. The place was decided proceeding from the fact that the
`Italian-Armenian Meeting Point Park’ was created in this community. The
planting will symbolize the friendly and warm relation between Armenia and
Italy.

By the way, the Italian Embassy in Armenia and ATP have organized and
carried out similar joint tree plantings in 2001, 2002 and 2004. This
activity resulted in the establishment of the first unprecedented `Italian
Armenian Meeting Point Park’. Since 2001 four tree plantings have taken
place in this area. More than 200 fruit and decorative trees have survived
due to the high 90% survival rate ATP achieves today.

The park was inaugurated on December 1 of 2004. And already in 2005 the
grounds are fulfilled with more than 40 indigenous tree-species and
blossoming shrubs, which were transported directly form the ATP nurseries to
beautify this unique community site
