A total of 13.5km perimeters of the 16km-perimeter fire in Armenia's Khosrov forest reserve have been put out, the Ministry of Emergency Situations said.
Work is underway to douse the remaining 2.5km perimeters of this fire, News.am reported.
The fire broke out on August 12 and has burnt hundreds of hectares of vegetation since then, officials said.
One helicopter of the Ministry of Defense for days battled the blaze alone, but it received help when the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry dispatched a firefighting plane filled with tons of water on August 15.
The Ilyushin-76 aircraft dumped 250 tons of water in six passes over the burning forest, the Russian ministry said.
