Those who destroy the green areas in Gyumri think of new methods to carry out a new “dendrocide”. This new “method”, as one can see in the photos, can simply be called “Lethal Loop”.
On 27 July the Aarhus Center in Gyumeri received a sos signal on destroying five poplars from the residents of Abovyan Ave., near the Saviour church under reconstruction.
