DEVELOPMENT OF YEREVAN LEADS TO DESERTIFICATION
Karine Danielyan, former minister of environmental protection, the head of the Sustainable Human Development Association, thinks the ongoing development in Yerevan will lead to desertification. According to her, the average air temperature has gone up twice, exceeding the average world temperature by one degree, which is 0.4 degree. “Authoritative international organizations state that 86 percent of the territory of Armenia is exposed to desertification,” Karine Danielyan said.
