YEREVAN. – Half a million trees will be planted in Armenia this year as a preparation for a big tree planting campaign set for 2020, Nature Protection Minister Erik Grigoryan said.

“We will plant around 500 thousand trees this year, a preparation for next year’s 10-million-trees program, which, in turn, will be a preparation for planting hundreds of millions of trees by 2050. Join us,” he said, sharing a post on Facebook.

Earlier Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said ten million trees will be planted in Armenia next year.
