At its Cabinet meeting Thursday, the government of Armenia decided to allocate 14,124,000 drams (approx. $33,790)—through redistribution—to expand the area of the Memory Ally at the Armenian Genocide Memorial in Yerevan.

According to the explanation of this decision, the areas intended for the firs being planted—in memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide—by senior officials visiting Armenia have virtually run out at Memory Ally.

The Memory/Fir Ally was founded in 1997 becoming an integral part of the Armenian Genocide Memorial, where currently around 200 trees grow.
