Construction of the elite residential building in Komitas Street has been
resumed despite protests, Tigran Khzmalyan, representative of
Pre-Parliament Opposition Movement said.
In the meanwhile, the residents of the neighbor buildings say that the city
authorities promised that the construction would be suspended for 5 days to
dispute the issue in the court. The police has surrounded the construction
site.
The residents of the building No.5 in Komitas Street had been protesting
against construction activities that have occupied their backyard for a
long time already. The residents and the law-enforcers clashed a few days
ago. In the wake of those clashes, Khzmalyan was detained but set free in
few hours.
"We are the owners of this city" movement urges all the citizens of Yerevan
to join the fight against illegal construction in Komitas Street and
misappropriation of green areas in Arabkir district by officials. In the
meanwhile, environmentalists have been slamming the authorities for
extremely large-scale construction activities in Yerevan for already
several years. Karine Danielyan, "For Sustainable Development" Association,
alarms that Yerevan has lost 70% of its green area over the last twenty
years due to construction. In addition, she said, the construction project
do no take into account the seismic activity of the territory of Yerevan.
