“No Illegal Constructions to Be in Yerevan”: Mayor Tigran Avinyan

08.01.2024

The area along Myasnikyan avenue will be greened. During the working conference it was reported that there is a surface of 25 hectares to be covered with trees in the mentioned area. Greening this area will be auspicious for the environment of the city centre. Before starting the project, the area must be cleaned up and freed from illegal constructions.
"The time of orchards and illegal constructions was over long ago. We are going to discuss certain legislative changes which will make such land occupations more complicated.  Stealing money from the community budget and stealing community lands are all the same for me. We must act and not negotiate in this regard. The green fund of Yerevan has been decreasing for decades because of illegal land occupation and neglect”, stressed the Mayor.
