    CIVIL SOCIETY WILL SUPPORT TARON

    Story from Lragir.am News:

    There is a small but important secret in the story of Mashtots Park
    where civil activists are going to dismantle the illegally assembled
    boutiques. The names of people who got the right to construct their
    shops have never been revealed.

    Who are these people? Many names are given, including ex-mayor Gagik
    Beglaryan. They have never revealed themselves to the public and the
    names of owners are carefully hidden.

    Why are these people reluctant to defend their property openly? Either
    they know it is illegal or they prefer not to be noticed. It is also
    possible that there are no owners, and the Municipality simply does
    not want to agree on a compromise with the citizen and refers to the
    right to property to justify its actions. Because the Mayor's office
    has no other arguments.

    Both cases are a clear violation of law and morality. Will the owners
    of boutiques come to protect their property tomorrow? Or do they
    believe that the police will do it? But do these owners not realize
    that even if they defend these stores, they have already lost their
    reputation, and hardly anyone will shop there? Do they not realize
    that even if this time the citizens are unable to dismantle the shops,
    it will be done at another time, and not all people are so reasonable
    as to inform the Police about the dismantlement?

    The owners of these shops, if any, should go to Mashtots Park tomorrow
    and prove their right to ownership of kiosks in a public park. The
    Mayor's office which refuses desperately to disclose any documents
    proving that the kiosks are private property needs to prove the
    expediency of providing the right to construct kiosks there too.

    Changing a decision, especially one that is illegal, is not a sign of
    weakness. When the government renounced the decision to build a water
    power plant on the waterfall of Trchkan or to suspend the construction
    in the park, nobody accused Tigran Sargsyan of weakness. On the
    contrary, most people noted that he made a reasonable decision and
    did not ignore the public opinion.

    The Municipality needs to be courageous to listen to the opinion of
    people and repeal the decision. And if the owners insist, they can
    sue Taron Margaryan. Then the civil society will support the mayor.

    The oligarchy will hardly help Taron if the society judges him.
