The Yerevan Municipality's initial decision to transfer the Abovyan
Street boutiques to Mashtots Park and subsequent decision to remove
them from the park have given rise to the following question: "Was
it worth to move the boutiques from point A to point B if green areas
are still left under concrete?"
After three months of protest actions by the greens, the boutiques
have been removed from Mashtots Park, with no new alternative territory
to be given to their owners.
But things are not that simple. In its article on Apr 16 ArmInfo
reported that after the removal of the boutiques from Abovyan Street
that area was left neglected.
Was it a coincidence or not but after that article the municipal
authorities began improving the territory. But the point is that one
of the boutiques was not removed and has now been repaired along with
the area instead of being dismantled.
So, what was the real purpose of the Municipality concerning that
boutique? And what is it going to do with it?
They in the Municipality said they would answer that question within
five days.
