The ecological forum kicked off at Mashtots park on 3 March. Its
purpose is to discuss the problems in nature protection sphere as
well as the negative sides of the nature protection legislation.
As the known green activist Mariam Sukhudyan told Arminfo
correspondent, they will go on fighting for the Mashtots park and
the problem has not been settled yet. As for the last statement by
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan that the pavilions will be of the
temporary nature, it did not satisfy green activists, as actually
the authorities are going to turn the park into a trade center.
Sukhudyan called on the premier to start the dialogue with the
community. "You must not worsen the relations with the society which
has been fighting for the rights of your children as well. You should
be next to us during these 22 days. It is shameful that such processes
are taking place because of several pavilions. We still see no steps
directed to settlement of the problem", - she said.
She emphasized that the fight for the park is not at all connected
with the owners of the trade pavilions. "We have been fighting against
the phenomenon but not certain persons. Perhaps, they are also the
suffering party in this story. However, they may be compensated or
given another territory in the underground walkway or somewhere else",
- Sukhudyan said.
