President SERGE SARGSYAN yesterday visited the Mayor's Office of
Yerevan and conducted a discussion devoted to a number of issues
which are of utmost importance for the town.
S. Sargsyan particularly said, "I suggest two principles that will
guide us in the course of our work:
First, I have mentioned several times that Yerevan should be a
convenient town to live in,
And second, the problems of Yerevan should be resolved to the benefit
and not at the expense of its inhabitants.
I attach particular importance to the second point. I want to bring
an example and say that despite its tremendous impact and positive
results, the construction work of the recent years created some social
tension which we could have avoided and ought to have avoided. What
I say does not absolutely mean that I underestimate those activities;
on the contrary, I set much store by them. I consider that as a result
of the construction work, Yerevan acquired a new image and entered a
new stage of development. But in any positive accomplishment we should
also find the flaws to be able to eliminate them in our future work.
In this regard, I want to bring the example of Kond district, and
say that those activities no longer create additional tension. More
than one hundred houses have a lready been realized in Kond, and no
response has been made so far. And if there is no response, there
is no dissatisfaction either. In such cases we should be guided by
the principle of offering an inhabitant an apartment in the same
territory. This is also in the interests of the party responsible
for property realization.
It's quite a different matter that the inhabitant himself does not
want it.
In this case, it is necessary to offer him a transaction at market
prices.
I want to remind you that 10-12 years ago there could hardly be
anyone in Yerevan who could think that the issue of transportation
might become one of the greatest problems of the town. The fact that
a few years ago the Mayor's office of Yerevan started to look for
some solutions to the transportation problem is really a praiseworthy
step. But on the other hand, those steps are not enough for the total
solution of the problem. In the period of carrying out the construction
work and realizing the land areas, we ought to have envisaged certain
territories for the construction of parking stations.
In the opinion of the specialists, the reason of the traffic jams
and inconvenience is not the fact that the central streets of Yerevan
are not envisaged for so many vehicles or they are narrow; the main
obstacle is the parking of a great number of vehicles in prohibited
and unauthorized areas.
We should find some solutions for moving those vehicles to a more
convenient place."
