YEREVAN - The Sarkis Dkhruni youth union of the Hunchakian party
addressed an open letter to Yerevan Mayor Karen Karapetyan, calling
on him to stop the removal of commercial kiosks.
In their letter, the union members point out that the Yerevan mayor's
relevant decision will add to social tension in Armenia. The removal
process is accompanied by "police terror" and "outrageous behavior"
shown by some of the Yerevan city hall officials. "You state that the
stalls spoil the Yerevan city's appearance. Yes, we agree. However,
should you begin your struggle for the city's appearance with the
poorest sections of the population?"
"Do not the previously constructed ugly 'elite buildings' spoil
Yerevan's appearance? They have never had anything in common with
the city's architecture nor will they ever have. If you and your
staff have set yourselves a task of improving Yerevan's appearance,
you could begin with these buildings," the letter says.
The authors call on the Yerevan mayor to stop the "campaign that will
deprive another several thousand people of their daily bread. They,
willingly or unwillingly, will start thinking of emigrating. And no
one needs Yerevan without residents."
