The wildfire in Armenia’s Khosrov Forest State Reserve, now burning for three days, has already destroyed 400 hectares according to a preliminary estimate by the country’s Ministry of Emergency Affairs.
Levon says the main problem is the unpreparedness of Armenia’s government. It’s not about having or not having a firefighter plane, but rather about assessing the situation - what steps you take, what methods you use.
The body of Abas Aloyan, a conscript soldier in the Armenian army, was found hanging in a shed yesterday in the Shirak village of Hatsik.
Armenia’s Minister of the Environment Artzvik Minasyan is heading the firefighting efforts in the Khosrov section of the reserve which measures 238.78km2.
