June 5 marks the International Environment Day. A number of events
will be organised in Armenia today.
An environmental march will kick off at 6:30 p.m. from Conservatory
Park.
Organisers of the event say the event aims to raise public awareness
of the threats posed to Armenia’s environment; threats that are being
neglected by government officials.
Environmentalists call to join the march for the sake of Armenia’s
nature.
"Let’s raise the most vulnerable problems of our nature… deplorable
destruction of Teghut, sorrowful Sevan, the ghost of uranium… Nature
is wailing…"
The Armenian-based office of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) together
with the Ministry of Environmental Protection organise a photo
exhibition and documentary presentation at 4:00 June 5.
