Parkcontinues to remain mixed and hot. Activists continue their
protest action against the constructions in the Park also today.
On February 17, yesterday the police tried to remove the ecologists
and let the workers restart the constructing actions. The activists
struggled as they could.
A representative of theYerevanmunicipality Zaven Araqelyan met
the activists at the park and tried to negotiate with them. He
presented documents which according to him show the legality of the
construction. Activists among them Deputy Zaruhi Postanjyan from
~SHeritage~T party get acquainted with the documents and concluded
that those papers did not prove anything.
The activists seemed would never give up. Even two of them lied on
the ground and did not let the lorry to approach the territory.
During the whole day the activists sang Armenian patriotic songs,
song aboutYerevan. They also shouted mottos such as ~SLeave Yerevan
to its masters~T, ~SGreen nice Yerevan~T, ~SShame, shame~T, "The park
belongs to us", "We claim Yerevan Mayor" and so on.

with the activists, but he did not manage. The activists just asked
him to leave the territory.

continue the constructions in the park.
Today the activists spread some information about the situation in
the park. We have learnt from the notes of activists that nearly 20
policemen closed the constructing territory and the constructions
are going on at this moment. Nearly 25-30 ecologists are now in
the Park and they do nothing at this right moment. They just clean
the territory. As well-known ecologist Mariam Sukhudyan wrote on

them just now. ~SThese are civilians with whom we liberated Trchkan
waterful. Remind that since yesterday Qajaran governor jointed us

everything and held an interview with the activists. ~SThe issue is
