About 43 million drams (approximately $118 thousand – ed.) have been allocated for paving an area of around 4,000 square meters adjacent to the Meridian exhibition center in Yerevan. The corresponding decision was adopted at a meeting of the Armenian government on July 23.

The 17th Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (COP17) is scheduled to be held at the said exhibition center in October.

The funds will be allocated from the government's reserve fund.
