Burning dry grass is strictly prohibited

Dear fellow citizens, currently, according to the data of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Armenia, there is a fire-hazardous situation in the green areas of the capital. Taking this into account, burning dry grass is strictly prohibited. We inform you that, due to the unusually high temperature for the month of June, the volumes and frequency of watering of the irrigation water supplied to the general use green areas of Yerevan have increased. In separate sections of the Shengavit, Avan, Nor Nork, Malatia-Sebastia and Kentron administrative districts, irrigation is also carried out with water pumped from deep wells. At the same time, mowing work continues in the lawn and grassy areas of the capital, the owners of the corresponding areas, as well as the lessees of gardens and parks, have been duly informed about the need to accelerate them. It should be noted that the fire-hazardous areas in Yerevan are considered to be the forest zones of the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex, Yerablur, "Pharos", Hrazdan Gorge, Victory and Ring parks. We urge our fellow citizens and guests of the capital to strictly observe the fire safety rules.
