Epress.am News from Armenia
Construction work in Mashtots Park resumed late yesterday evening, around 11:30 pm, after activists who for the second week in a row have been camped out in the park protesting shop construction decided to go home for the night.
Contractors resumed building the kiosks in the park next to the maternity hospital on Mashtots Ave. in Yerevan even though up until now they only worked during daytime hours.
News of construction resuming spread through Facebook.
The print press in Armenia, in turn, speculated today as to whom the shops might belong: local daily Haykakan Jamanak (“Armenian Times”), former mayor of Yerevan Gagik Beglaryan and former Minister of Transport and Communication Eduard Madatyan are behind the construction.
Hraparak, however, along with these two names, reports that a part of the park belongs to RA Minister of Healthcare Harutyun Kushkyan, while another section belongs to head of the Compulsory Enforcement Service of Judicial Acts, Chief Compulsory Enforcement Officer Mihran Poghosyan.
