ArmInfo. The statements by deputy Mayor of Yerevan Kamo Areyan have
shocked the green activists.
As the group "We are Masters of Our City" told ArmInfo, in October 11
interview with one of the TV channels K. Areyan afforded a number of
strange expressions. In particular, he said that some kinds of trees
appeared in the capital out of nowhere, they are a blot on the city,
so they must be removed. Moreover, he called on to calmly cut the
trees if the hamper construction.
Apparently, the words of the deputy mayor are an attempt to justify
illegal tree-cutting, which is carried out in the capital's parks and
gardens for construction of entertainment centers. A bright example
is the Student Park, part of which was destroyed in order to please
two ugly cafes.
The park located between Mashtots Avenue and Saryan Street will
become a new victim of money interests, this time - of the Tashir
Group companies.
The indignant activists remind Areyan that the parks and gardens of
Yerevan are our citizens' resting place, and according to Articles
62 and 64 of the Law 'On Yerevan', the capital mayor's obligation
includes creation and preservation of the city resting areas. In view
of this, they suggested the mayor to consider the issue of expediency
of further continuation of Kamo Areyan's authorities.
