Dear activists of Mashtots Park,
Dear residents of Yerevan,
With this letter we, Armenians of Norway, convey our fullest support to
your green activism. We are concerned with the complicated situation
around the Mashtots Park, and Teghut forest and always follow the
developments around these issues. We join your claim to stop the
construction in the park, remove the trade booths and leave the park
to its owners ~V the residents of Yerevan.
We find it unacceptable and unlawful to use the public park in favor
to the private rather than the public interests, even if it is said
to be temporary. This is particularly alarming, because the green
territories become more and more endangered in Yerevan, and in Armenia
as a whole. We are well-aware of violations of law regarding the
construction in the park, and condemn the police actions as being
not legitimate. Meanwhile, your demands on stopping the process
of construction and dismantling the booths are proposed within the
framework of law.
On the other hand, we express our sincere appreciation for the civic
activism of those people, mostly the younger generation, who are
involved in the park initiative, express their voice and strive for a
better, greener, more lawful country of concerned people, who prefer
to sleep in an open-air park in winter, rather than remain impartial
in their closed apartments. We consider this activism as a precedent
and a good example of protecting public property and voicing out
injustice. Undoubtedly, Mashtots Park case can be a good motivator
to raise civic voice and feeling of public belonging in the society,
which is so crucial nowadays.
We also address the international organizations in Armenia and diaspora
groups to pursue the issue and express their support to the public
activism. You are greatly involved with the development of Armenia,
hence, you cannot be impartial, and not to follow what are your
cooperation outcomes with different concerned structures in Armenia.
