Gorges in Armenia Turning into Garbage Dumps

Armenia’s pride, gorges, which reliefs are depicted on cards turn into garbage dumps. Even Yeghvard can’t cope with the problem of garbage. “We have huge garbage piles: people dump garbage wherever they want, even into irrigation canals. While nobody knows who is responsible for this and who manages all this,” say the activists of Yeghvard Aarhus Center. This question is not accidental, as the information about companies dealing with elimination of household wastes is not displayed on the official websites. If the information were available, it would be possible not only to submit warning, but also assistance, for example, to help collect garbage, to hold educational work together with the company etc. Still a well-known format is in force: the less people know about us, the better, but better for whom?
