YEREVAN, August 9 — Ethnic Armenian, eco-activist and quintessential rock musician Serj Tankian from System of a Down, will give a concert in Yerevan on August 12.

Since Tankian is actively engaged in nature protection, the Bicycle+ initiative group, jointly with a protection group for Teghut forest, will organize a grandiose welcome in Yerevan — the Bicycle Boom action (Boom is the title of one of the most popular System of a Down hits).

The participants will gather near the Yerevan conservatory on August 11 at 6:00 pm. There they will change their clothes, paint themselves, pick up bright placards and go directly to the airport to meet their idol.

From various stages worldwide, Tankian has many times expressed his opinions on healthy lifestyle and nature conservation. A few months ago he made a statement concerning the preservation of Teghut forest and the protection of Armenia’s nature.
