The so-called "brigade" is shortly going to resume the fight for
dismantling of the trade pavilions in Mashtots Park.
"There is no alternative to this fight. We consider it as the civil
society's challenge to the oligarchy and lawlessness. Now that
everything is being forged and falsified amid the pre-election rush,
such sincere movements get a political sense, strange though it may
appear", Tigran Khzmalyan, one of the "brigade leaders", member of
the initiative group of Sardarapat Movement, said to ArmInfo.
He said that 5 "brigades" have already been set up, and each of them
consists of 10 people. "We know that new brigades are being set up.
Some people see a symbolic sense in it: the people are coming to
express their solidarity. But, actually, we rely on it", he said.
Khzmalyan thinks that the team spirit of the "brigades" around the
problem of Mashtots Park is a counterweight to the lawlessness. "If the
state commits unlawful acts, the citizens should save the statehood,
not the state", Khzmalyan said.
The green activists claim that the trade pavilions in Mashtots Park
run counter to the legislation and urban development standards.
Notwithstanding this, on March 15 the Government of Armenia approved
the draft decision "On provision of powers to mayor of Yerevan",
according to which Mashtots Park will be provided for construction
for 3 years.
The preliminary court hearing on Heritage Party's claim against the
Municipality of Yerevan will be held on April 20. The claim concerns
the pavilions in Mashtots Park.
