Despite the Armenian government's decision, the environmentalists have
no intention to stop their sit-in protest in Yerevan's Mashtots park.
Gor Hakobyan, a member of the 'We are masters of this city' group,
said the protesters plan to spend this night in the park as well. "As
we said the sit-in protest will last until March 16, and we are going
to issue a new statement tomorrow," Hakobyan told Tert.am.
Mary Khachatryan, an active group member, said that the protesters
will arrive at the park on Friday as well. "Many of us have been not
been able to stay here. I personally have not slept for 25 hours,"
she said. The environmentalists are determined to demand removal of
kiosks from the park.
The Armenian government approved on Thursday bill on Alienation Public
Property thus delaying the removal of kiosks in Yerevan's Mashtots
Park until the Old Erivan project is launched.
