The municipal authorities of capital Yerevan decided late on Thursday
to suspend the construction activities in Mashtots Park, an Armenian
intellectual has said.
In an interview with the local TV channel Yerkir Media, Armenian writer
and publicist Meruzhan Ter-Gulanyan said that the chief architect of
Yerevan told an urban development meeting that the decision to build
kiosks on the territory was wrong.
Ter-Gulanyan, who is a member of Armenia's Public Council, said
Mayor Taron Margaryan did not act in breach of the law when making
the decision; he just made a little haste and selected a wrong place
as a result.
"Those kiosks are not expected to be there; that's just a
misunderstanding. As to the environmental activists, they are doing
nice job. I praise them, but I am afraid lest those guys should be
involved in political intrigues," he said.
Speaking further, Art Director of the Yerevan State Chamber Theatre
Ara Yernjakyan said the activists are already involved in political
intrigues as they have told environmentalists about more trees being
cut in a construction site in the vicinities of the Matenadaran
(repository of ancient manuscrupts).
"I will not address the topic because no one has given them such an
instruction," he said.
