ArmInfo. The situation with  garbage removal in Armenia is close to critical. This was stated by  Karen Karapetyan, the Prime Minister, on April 20 at the Government  session. 

The Government head reminded that based  on results of Clean Armenia  Project launched on February 16, 2017 it was discovered that  only  waste disposal sites occupy up to 430 ha. " the absence of proper  control, incomplete work on garbage removal in cities and towns and  at road sectors -  the situation is close to tragic. I think  everybody noticed that," the Prime Minister accentuated. According to  him, this situation is the result of  long and wrong organization of  the waste removal works, and  mistakes of regions  governors and  communities heads, "who perform their duties in imperfect manner and  sometimes even fail performing those properly". They are liable not  only for the proper organization of waste removal, but for correction  of the situation formed," Karapetyan stated.  

"The Clean Armenia Project implementation starts today," Karen  Karapetyan  summarized, instructing the regions and communities  to  develop and to submit in two months terms an appropriate program on  cancellation of the problems mentioned. According to the Prime  Minister, the situation is unacceptable for today.
