WWF Armenia Director Karen Manvelyan posted photos of 'Khosrov Forest' State Reserve on FaceBook and commented, 'Today we saw blossomed apple trees in 'Khosrov Forest' State Reserve, which is naturally the result of fires. Because of stress, trees have blossomed up for self-reproduction purposes.'

Reminder: the fire in 'Khosrov Forest' State Reserve broke out on 12 August and the firefighters were not able to extinguish it for around 17 days. According to the initial data, 2733 ha of area had suffered from the fire in the reserve, out of which 201 ha is juniper tree, 1624 ha is vegetation-covered area and the rest is a large-leaf forest.
