Where did they get the information from?
Environmentalist Karine Danielyan is amazed by the UN's report. According to the report entitled "Advancement of goals for the millennium development of Armenia", the ecological objectives are easily reachable and there are no problems.
"Surprisingly, it turns out that there have not been any deforestations in Armenia. We have had 12 percent forest areas and there are only 11.1 or 11.2 percent," this is what Karine Danielyan saw in the report that was released recently.
"According to all UN rules and regulations, this kind of national report could not be published. I asked the organizers about the information and they told me that the RA Ministry of Nature Protection had provided them with that information," said Karine Danielayn.
She noted that Armenia is coming out to the international arena with different "images". There are also reports that show different figures and it turns out that there are many ecological issues in Armenia.
According to calculations by the environmentalist and other experts, forests of Armenia made up 11.2 percent in 1990 and there was only 8 percent in 2000.
