<\/p>\n

Yerevan’s Komitas 3, 5a, 7 and 7\/1 building residents were gathered in front of City Hall today to protest the city’s plans to cut down the trees in their residential courtyard to construct a multi-story building in its place.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Komitas 5a resident Gohar Sahakyan told Epress.am how a group of people had come a few days ago and, without identifying themselves, said that construction work would take place in the area, the current high-voltage power station would have to be moved a few meters away, and the trees will have to be cut down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“When we raised the alarm, representatives from the Erebuni police division came and the tree cutting stopped. Prior to that, no one had introduced [to us] the City Hall decision and, essentially, both the cutting of trees and the construction of the multi-story building were illegal. But the next day, permission for the new building appeared on the City Hall website,” said Sahakyan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“We can’t allow such a building to be built in that area, because it’s going to cast a shadow on the Komitas 5a building. Today we’ve come to City Hall; we’re demanding a meeting with the mayor. Let him come, see with his own eyes, whether it’s possible to construct a building in such a site?” asked Sahakyan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Yerevan resident added that they gathered signatures for a petition and sent the corresponding paperwork to all state bodies, the Rule of Law Party, Heritage Party and to the Ombudsman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
