“Lands seized illegally from Yerevan community is also theft”: 26 hectares stretching along Myasnikyan avenue to be greened

26.02.2024

The area stretching along Myasnikyan avenue, which used to be developed illegally and irregularly for years, will be greened. During the regular working meeting it was reported that the land plots seized from the community will be cleared up from illegal constructions, and a green zone will be designed in 26 hectares.
“Such policy caused Yerevan to lose huge volumes of green areas, and various grounds and justifications were brought not to put an end to irregular construction development at the cost of green areas. For 2-3 years we have been trying to get rid of this logic. Land plots seized from Yerevan community particularly from green zones is also a theft: what is community-owned must stay community-owned, and what is a green area must remain a green area”, stressed the Mayor.
