Tert.am

Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan issued a statement on the situation in
Mashtots park, in Yerevan.
The statement reads in part:
"Dear Yerevan residents,
"The installation of temporary structures in the areas that are not
the principal green zones of the park between Mashtots Avenue and
Yeznik Kokhbatsi Street evoked a public response. Various opinions
have been voiced, most of them arousing concern. I think it is time
for specific discussions of the problem and putting forward reasonable
arguments, and reaching a public consensus.
"I am well aware of the impossibility of any development or resolution
of any problem of public importance without effective protection
of ownership.
"The facts are as follow:
"A number of structures in Abovyan Str. Were removed by the Yerevan
Municipality. The owners were offered alternative territories,
including the undeveloped area near Mashtots Avenue and Yeznik
Kokhbatsi Street. The area is registered as liable to improvement by
the Yerevan Landscaping CJSC.
"According to the documents, the company is installing the booths
in the park as compensation to the owners of structures removed from
Abovyan Street. The booths are temporary structures - until the Old
Yerevan program has been completed.
"Ownership-related problems cannot be resolved on the basis of
individuals' subjective opinion on justice.
"Despite the negative opinions that have been voiced, I am happy to
know that our citizens are so concerned over the problems and future
our dear Yerevan city. Although all the legal documents are available
in this case, I consider public involvement and awareness necessary."
In his statement, the Yerevan mayor also assured the public that the
city authorities will do their best to develop the areas in question
and provide them will all modern amenities.
He expressed the confidence that all the problems of Armenia's capital
have civilized solutions.
