The mayor of Yerevan is the one responsible for the illegal stands
at Mashtots Park. The municipal authorities must be subject to the
people in Yerevan.
In relation to President Serzh Sargsyan's visit to Mashtots Park
and his assignment to the mayor of Yerevan to demolish the stands,
the citizens of Armenia defending Mashtots Park declare:
The demolition of the illegal stands at Mashtots Park and the
elimination of the illegal acts are exclusively part of the powers
of Yerevan Municipality and the law-enforcement bodies according to
the RA Constitution,
For nearly 80 days, Yerevan Municipality and the mayor are inactive
in returning the public territory to the citizens of Yerevan and the
Republic of Armenia,
The mayor of Yerevan must submit to the will of the citizens of
Yerevan and not to the aesthetic preferences and positions of a person.
The evaluations of the police officers' actions must be based on
the RA Constitution, the protection of public property, as well as
the protection of human rights and liberties. We have to condemn any
show of police brutality and illegal act, and not express gratitude
and consider that an achievement.
Serzh Sargsyan in no way touched upon the rights of RA citizens and
the protection of the people's primary interests, which lie at the
core of the sovereignty of the Republic of Armenia and are the source
of the legitimacy of state officials (President, mayor and others).
Based on all this, we demand from the Yerevan Municipality to
-immediately annul the decisions on illegal construction at Mashtots
Park and return the park to the people by demolishing all the illegal
stands, -renovate the area, taking into account the opinion of the
public at large and participation in decision-making.
Find and bring to justice all the corresponding bodies of the Republic
of Armenia that made illegal decisions, restore the material damage
caused to the community and bring the officials who violated the RA
citizens' legal interests and the police officers that applied force
against the people.
We will continue our civil and legitimate struggle to gain and exercise
our constitutional rights for the protection of our public property,
national pride and the primary interests of our people.
