    YEREVAN MUNICIPALITY EXPLAINS ITS STANCE ON 'GARDEN OF DRAGONS'

    ArmInfo. Yerevan Municipality has explained its stance regarding the
    "Garden of Dragons".

    As EcoLur reports, Yerevan Municipality disseminated a statement
    referring to "Garden of Dragons". The statement says, "We consider
    it necessary to say information disseminated by several electronic
    newspapers about the statement made by Yerevan Mayor Gagik Beglaryan in
    regard with the construction of a territory called "Garden of Dragons"
    is distorted and doesn't comply with the truth...."

    The Mayor's stance is as follows: no tree should be cut and no
    construction should be carried out in the alley's territory, which
    would hamper the garden's functionality. And if any construction is
    carried out outside of the garden and meet all the required standards,
    why not to build, the more especially as the matter concerns a
    residential building".

    To recall, Air Construction Company was going to build a 18-storey
    building in the territory of the alley without relevant resolution
    by the state environment examination. Yet in 2000 part of the alley
    was privatized and its owners changed several times over the last
    10 years. On November 17 the 2 thsd sq.m. territory of the park
    was fenced, the benches were taken out, afterwards workers started
    cutting the trees. Local residents removed the fence to protect the
    green area. Noteworthy, the residents' initiative was supported by
    the head of the Nork district Melik Gasparyan. By his decision, the
    holes, dug out by heavy machinery, were backfilled. A tree-planting
    action was held in the alley on December 2.
