STARTING SPRING WITHOUT TREES
About 20 policemen were gathered near the house N16 in the Komitas
Street since early morning. They themselves did not know why they were
ordered to come to the `place of the accident'. But it was clear at
first sight that the policemen were protecting from the residents of the
buildings the tree-cutters who had brought heavy equipment for their
criminal activity.
Standing in front of the cars, the residents tried to stop them, but it
did not help, as the drivers did not even stop the cars.
It is interesting that the trees subject for cutting were not dead. Just
vice versa. The small trees in the area already had buds. All this will
cease to exist in a few days, as the Yerevan municipality has organized
a secret auction for the area regardless of the residents.
The residents claim that Vardan Abrahamyan, judge of the Arabkir
community court of the first instance, had got their green area,
although the documents are by name of his sister. According to the
residents, the same judge has many other areas in the city. He has
always wanted to get this area.
By the way, some years ago one of the residents had wanted to privatize
a small part of the area in order to preserve the trees, but the Yerevan
municipality had refused the request saying that the area is not subject
to privatization as it is part of the living area.
