YEREVAN, MARCH 31, NOYAN TAPAN. From April Yerevan Mayor's Office announces "Clean Yerevan" quarter, which will last until late June. As Vano Vardanian, Yerevan Deputy Mayor, said at the March 31 press conference, almost all ministries, prefectures, as well as regional administrations bordering upon Yerevan will take part in the work envisaged: the latters will clean the roads leading from Yerevan to the regions. According to V. Vardanian, today the problem of rubbish disposal in Yerevan is one of the most important problems of city administration. It was mentioned that the rubbish disposal work done in the 12 communities of Yerevan does not give a satisfactory result yet. According to him, though more than 90 units of special machinery were brought by sanitary cleaning enterprises, more than 8000 dustbins were placed in Yerevan in the past two years, nevertheless, this work is not sufficient and it should be permanent to achieve complete results. V. Vardanian also said that a program of study of rubbish disposal and sanitary cleaning state in Yerevan is conducted on the initiative of the Mayor's Office. An interdepartmental working group has been created by the RA Prime Minister's order, which will be also engaged in these issues. According to V.
