The Public Council might dispute the right to property of the owners
of the stands that were demolished on Abovyan Street and are being
placed at Mashtots Park in court. This is what President of the Public
Council Vazgen Manukyan announced during a discussion on the issue.
During the discussion, Chief Architect of Yerevan Narek Sargsyan
reaffirmed Mayor of Yerevan Taron Margaryan's statement according
to which Yerevan Municipality was placing stands at Mashtots Park by
respecting the right of stand owners to their properties.
However, he also informed that none of the owners of the stands on
Abovyan Street had any right to the stands placed at Mashtots Park.
"Those stands belong to Yerevan Municipality and are simply granted
to them for a couple of years," he mentioned.
The members of the Public Council asked whether the decision on
providing areas on the sidewalk of Abovyan Street by the right to
property was legitimate or not for the mayor to defend that right at
the price of green areas.
"It was, if not illegitimate, then at least an incorrect decision,"
said member of the Public Council, former Prime Minister Khosrov
Harutyunyan.
In his turn, President of the Public Council Vazgen Manukyan asked
about those stand owners and wanted to know why the municipality was
so attentive toward their rights.
"Perhaps they have provided great services to the homeland. In that
case, perhaps we should all praise them," said Manukyan.
In response to all this, Head of the Legal Department at Yerevan
Municipality Zaven Arakelyan said the municipality couldn't do anything
as long as the right of the stand owners to property wasn't disputed.
Vazgen Manukyan expressed certainty that "any normal court would take
the right to property away from those people".
"If the municipality doesn't sue them, our Council's lawyers will
appeal to the court and will call the youth demonstrators as well,"
said Vazgen Manukyan.
The Public Council's discussions on the stands in Mashtots Park were
being held without the participation of the demonstrators defending
their interests, but Karine Danielyan was present.
Danielyan mentioned that people don't trust the municipality simply
because the authorities didn't fulfill their pledge of stopping
construction.
The Chief Architect of Yerevan was compelled to accept this fact. "But
we are trying to interfere. It was our flaw, and I accept it," said
the Chief Architect.
