more images The construction of a two-floored supermarket has started
between 10 Shirak and 3 Sharur Streets in Shengavit community. The
residents complain that this construction has become a real problem
for them. This section was foreseen for the safety of the two houses,
since for emergency cases vehicles could stand close to the houses and
work quickly. Because of this construction the houses are deprived
of free space and the traffic becomes impossible, and the territory
becomes a risky zone in case of emergency.
The residents ensure that this construction belongs to the owner of
"Evrika" supermarkets' net, who has a similar supermarket on the
same street. "There are so many supermarkets around us. People
are not in the social state to buy goods this much, especially in
supermarkets. There is no necessity of such supermarkets in our
district", says a resident.
"They started digging on 21 September, as if made a holiday gift to
us. It was a surprise for us, since they neither warned us, nor hang
a corresponding sign or asked our opinion", noticed Edik, a citizen.
Ruzanna, a resident said that they even had a dispute with the
representative of the supermarket, only afterwards they started to
arrange their documents.
"They even occupied more territory, but later but after the dispute
they lessened it", added Ruzanna.
About 25 families from Shirak 10 Street has sent appeals to community
heads, to the Municipality and to the Prosecutor's Office and are
waiting for reply: "I think it is senseless to talk about it, since
they have already started their construction, particularly when they
say from the Municipality that it is done legally. They say that
we envy that is why we complain. But we have nothing to envy them",
said another resident.
We also met the chief engineer. He did not want to introduce himself,
noting that he simply worked for the company and could not provide
more details. He also said that all documents are legal; they
had an agreement with the customer and had the allowance from the
Municipality. "The construction is done by "Temur Usupov" LLC. I agree
that the noise bothers the residents, but almost near all houses in
Yerevan constructions are carries out. We will finish the construction
in December", said the chief engineer.
The department of illegal constructions of Shengavit community informed
"A1+" that if the Municipality allowed to construction then they had
nothing to do with it. "We have no right to criticize higher bodies
or to demand anything from them. We have made sure that it is done
legally and have nothing to do. The Municipality tells us what to do,
thus we have cannot interfere in this case".
The Deputy Mayor of Yerevan Karen Davtyan has signed the allowance of
the construction. We tried to find out on what basis the construction
was carried out when the residents pointed out their problems. The
Deputy Mayor said that the allowance of the Municipality means "that
the mentioned draft has passed the proper independent examination
and then only implemented".
