    CIVIC ACTIVISTS TO CONTINUE VIGIL AT MASHTOTS PARK

    Concerned citizens say they will continue their vigil to stop further
    construction of stores at Mashtots Park in downtown Yerevan.

    In a press statement, the activists say they walked away from meetings
    with Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan and Chief Yerevan Architect Narek
    Sargsyan convince that the construction is illegal and based on an
    arbitrary decision by the Yerevan Municipality, despite arguments
    made to the contrary by city officials.

    The activists argue that city officials are backing the interests of
    a few businessmen at the expense of the public.

    They say that officials were at a loss to explain why stores recently
    dismantled along Abovyan Street are being rebuilt in a public green
    space.
