Dozens of green activists have gathered near the covered market in
Yerevan today on May 28 to take the situation under control and save
the market after the arch roof of the market was demolished overnight.
It is noteworthy that the market is included in the list of historical
monument of Yerevan and
demolition of the roof was, inherently, illegal.
"Demolition of the market's arch roof is a crime. The developer
company neglects relevant authorities and keeps destroying part of
Yerevan's history," Stepa Safaryan, a member of Heritage Party, told
media. "It is a developed illegal work style when construction is
carried out at nights, while there is no one on the construction site
in daytime to explain the illegal actions," he said.
Safaryan recalled the first attempt to demolish the roof was in March
and resulted in a 200,000 drams fine imposed on the construction
company. In addition, the developer had no necessary documents.
Nevertheless, there is no poster of the future market on the
construction site. "It is not only violation of the law. It also shows
that there is not approved project of the future market yet," Safaryan
said.
In this connection, activists will send a letter of the Yerevan
Police demanding punishment of those guilty for demolition of the arc
roof of the covered market. Earlier Mass Media reported that Armenian
parliamentarian Samvel Aleksanyan acquired the closed market from
Gagik Tsarukyan, Leader of Prosperous Armenia Party. The market is to
be transformed into a Yerevan City supermarket.
