YEREVAN, OCTOBER 26, NOYAN TAPAN. Hovhannes Shahinian, the prefect of
the Arabkir community of Yerevan, believes the assertions of the city
authorities, according to which the construction work being implemented
in the Komitas avenue will be finished by the end of November and that
of Yerevan, in general, by the end of December. He made this statement
during his meeting with journalists held on October 25 in the "Hayeli"
(Mirror) club.
According to the prefect, the community meets this winter in a
more prepared way than the previous two years: at the expense of
credit means the prefectura has acquired 20 snow removing cars, each
costing approximately 40 thousand U.S. dollars, the community has 55
dustcarts. The prefect hopes that the problem of garbage removal will
be regulated by the legislation in future: 60% of economic entities of
the community having 131 thousand inhabitants does not have contracts
on garbage removal. In the near future 60% of the elavators of the
buildings of the community will be repaired: the work directed at
lightening the community will be finished in 2008.
The prefect of the Arabkir community expressed conviction that the
government will provide means for solving the flat fund problems. 45-50
and more years old buildings have been handed to joint properties,
however it is impossible to preserve them without the assistance of
the state.
Hovhannes Shahinian expressed desire that 30% of the members of
the future counsillors of Yerevan be elected by the majoritarian
system. The prefect is also for the commissions of the local
self-governmental bodies to be expanded. He is for the prefects to be
elected, whereas, according to the new law on "Yerevan" to be adopted,
prefects are to be appointed.
David Petrosian and Surik Ghukasian, the prefects of the Nor Nork and
Davtashen communities of Yerevan, did not accept the invitation of
the meeting with journalists. The TV companies, continuing to boycott
against the meetings organized by journalism clubs, did not come to
the meeting either.
