The Genocide Museum-Institute's director has elaborated on the reasons
of his bid for the Yerevan City Council.
Speaking to Tert.am, Dr. Hayk Demoyan explained that he has two main
reasons for joining the upcoming elections. The first reason, he said,
is his belief in his potentials to change something for the better in
the capital city.
As for the second reason, it is the desire to improve the Yerevan
Tsitsernakaberd Park, where his museum is situated.
Demoyan, who has joined the ruling Republican Party's proportional
representation list to run for election, said he considers his joining
the campaign an opportunity for collaborating with the Yerevan mayor.
`The Tsitsernakaberd Park, which has a key environmental security
significance for Yerevan, must be fully planted with greenery to
become an environmentally friendly recreation area.
The City Hall is now implementing projects for the commemoration of
the Genocide 100th anniversary,' Demoyan said, adding that he is ready
to collaborate with the city authorities as a non-partisan.
Demoyan noteed the museum never gives publicity to its large-scale
work aimed at protecting the surrounding green areas and maintaining
the irrigation network.
`The activities are carried out in a very modest manner, without
gunshots and drumbeats,' he said, noting that the green areas were
endangered in the period when he took charge of the museum.
Demoyan said employees at the museum are not willing to hear words of
praise, considering their work something they are supposed to do
despite many attempts to appropriate the green lands.
The museum's director added the land allotments for construction work
on the territory have been suspended since 2007.
