The monastery is surrounded by green pasture lands and vineyards within the Ararat plain and is in view of Mount Ararat. The Arax River flows close by, and the monastery is opposite of Aralık, Turkey. During the construction works, no tree removal is intended. Endemic species and plants are not growing on the site. Geology of the site is favorable for construction works. No geological activity is recorded. The ground waters are located deeper than the water supply system is proposed to be constructed. The climate is sharply continental; precipitations in the area generally have surface flood, and only the part of the water penetrates through the minerals and soil. The natural relief and landscape will be recovered after construction works.

    Identification and implementation of adaptation response to Climate Change impact for Conservation and Sustainable use of agro-biodiversity in arid and semi- arid ecosystems of South Caucasus Ecosystem Assessment Report Erevan, 2012 Executive Summary Armenia is a mountainous country, which is distinguished with vulnerable ecosystems, dry climate, with active external and desertification processes and frequency of natural disasters. Country’s total area is 29.743 sq/km. 76.5% of total area is situated on the altitudes of 1000-2500m above sea level. There are seven types of landscapes in Armenia, with diversity of their plant symbiosis and species. All Caucasus main flora formations (except humid subtropical vegetation) and 50% of the Caucasus high quality flower plant species, including species endowed with many nutrient, fodder, herbal, paint and other characteristics are represented here. “Identification and implementation of adaptation response to Climate Change impact for Conservation and Sustainable use of agro biodiversity in arid and semi-arid ecosystems of South Caucasus” project is aimed to identify the most vulnerable ecosystems in RA, in light of climate change, assess their current conditions, vulnerability level of surrounding communities and the extend of impact on ecosystems by community members related to it. During the project, an initial assessment has been conducted in arid and semi arid ecosystems of Armenia to reveal the most vulnerable areas to climate change, major threats have been identified, main environmental issues: major challenges and problems of arid and semi arid ecosystems and nearly located local communities have been analyzed and assessed. Ararat and Vets Door regions are recognized as the most vulnerable areas towards climate change, where vulnerable ecosystems are dominant.

  • Ararat Marz Guidebook
    ARARAT MARZ GUIDEBOOK 2014 ARARAT FACTS ARARAT Ararat is one of Armenia’s 10 provinces, whose capital is Artashat. Named after Mount Ararat, the province borders Turkey to the west and Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic to the south. Two former Armenian capitals are located in this region, Artashat and Dvin, as well as the Khor Virap monastery, significant as the place of Gregory the Illuminator’s 13-year imprisonment and for being the closest point to Mount Ararat within Armenian borders. The province consists of 97 com- munities, known as hamaynkner, of which four are considered urban and 93 rural. Spanning an area of 1995 km2 and home to a population of 311,400 people, its administrative Center is Artashat which is 29km from Yerevan. Ararat borders the following provinces: Armavir to the northwest, Kotayk to the north, Gegharkunik 1. It is rumoured that Sir Winston’s favourite tipple came out of the Ararat valley in the east and Vayots Dzor to the southeast. Ararat also has a border with the city of Yerevan in the north, between its borders with Armavir and Kotayk. Ararat’s moun- tains include the Yeranos range, Vishapasar 3157m, Geghasar 3443m, and Kotuts 2061m, Urts 2445m. The province also has a number of lakes including: Sev, Azat, Armush, and Karalich as well as the Arax, Azat, Hrazdan, Yotnakunk, Vedi, and Artashat Rivers. During the period from 331 BC to 428 AD, the Armenian Kingdom was also known as Greater Armenia (Mets Hayk) and consisted of 15 states. One of those original states was Ayrarat.

  • Re-Emergence of Malaria in Armenia and Vector Control Interventions
    Journal of Health Sciences Management and Public Health RE-EMERGENCE OF MALARIA IN ARMENIA AND VECTOR CONTROL INTERVENTIONS Lilit M. Avetisyan1 Abstract Malaria was highly endemic in Armenia from ancient times. Malaria control from 1945 was directed towards the elimination of the disease, and when this was achieved in 1963, towards the maintenance of this status. Since then, no autochthonous malaria cases occurred and therefore, the control operations were sharply reduced in 1991. After 1991, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the situation became critical in terms of maintaining a malaria - free status (Armenia- country update- January, 2001). Several factors placed Armenia at risk for the re- emergence of malaria. Recent severe financial constraints contributed to reduction of vector control activities and for non-full-fledged epidemiological control new malaria cases may have not been diagnosed, treated and reported properly. In 1994 the first indigenous case occurred since malaria eradication. In the following years a straight rise of both imported and indigenous malaria cases was recorded, reaching a peak of 567 locally transmitted cases in 1997. All cases were due to P. vivax. In 1998, a Roll Back Malaria program was developed to eliminate the recently established foci of malaria infection and to prevent the resurgence of malaria in Armenia. The objectives of this program were: early detection and radical treatment of all malaria cases, availability of anti-malarial drugs and improved accessibility to the health services, indoor residual spraying in malaria foci with cyfluthrin 0.05 gr/m2, mosquito source reduction. Since 1998, the epidemic has been successfully contained and the number of indigenous cases has dramatically dropped down in 1999-2002, reaching the 56 cases in 2000, 32: in 2001 and 13: in 2002.
