Mashtots Park: Municipality Must Obey Yerevan Public
The civic initiatives This City Belongs to Us, Our City, Save Teghut,
Save Trchkan Waterfall and the self-determined citizens of Mashtots
Park state that the mayor of Yerevan is responsible for the illegally
set up boutiques in Mashtots Park and the municipality must obey the
public of Yerevan.
The statement criticizes the inaction of the city hall and the mayor
of Yerevan for 80 days and failure to stop illegal construction and
return the public park to the citizens of Armenia.
The mayor of Yerevan must obey the will of the citizens of Yerevan
rather than the esthetic preferences and opinions of one person,
independent from who this person is, what his position is. Such issues
are addressed in accordance with the RA Constitution and this is a
public domain.
The police actions must be evaluated in terms of the RA Constitution,
protection of public interests, human rights and freedoms. The police
must be condemned for any expression of violence and disproportional
action rather than thanked and their actions hailed as achievements.
Hence, the activists demand that the City Hall repeal the decisions on
illegal construction in Mashtots Park and dismantle all the illegal
buildings and improve the area considering the opinion of the public
and real participation in decision making.
They demand the relevant bodies of the Republic of Armenia to hold
responsible everyone who is responsible for the illegal decisions,
compensate for the material damage to the community, the officials
who violated the legal interests of the citizens of Armenia, and the
policemen who used violence against the citizens.
