YEREVAN. – The ‘We are the owners of this city’ civil initiative responds to the statement of Yerevan Mayor Taron Karapetyan made on the Mashtots Park issue on Tuesday.

Several points were stated in the announcement.

“We agree with the mayor’s opinion that the protection of private property is a priority for the city’s development. However, we want to point out that the question concerns not only private but also public property. According to the 31st article of Armenia’s Constitution, ‘realizing private property right must not damage the environment, and must not violate the rights of people and the public,” reads the statement of civil initiative.

It is also stated in the response that although the Mayor claims the construction to be legal, it is not as it violates land, urban and environmental standards established by the Armenian legislation.

Besides, the fact that the park is in a bad condition is the City Hall’s fault, states the response.
