'Forbes magazine has published an article detailing five magnificent natural wonders of the Eurasian Caucasus that should be visited. The magazine notes that this unique region has abundant opportunities for the development of ecotourism and outdoor adventures. Among the five natural wonders of the Caucasus highlighted by Forbes are the Khosrov Forest State Reserve and the Dilijan National Park, both of which are special protected areas in Armenia. This is yet another opportunity to admire the unparalleled environment of Armenia's nature. Our country's valuable natural environment is a national treasure that should be treated with care and great responsibility.'
