The new Mayor of Yerevan, Hayk Marutyan, on Sunday visited the Nubarashen landfill.

“It’s already the third week I visit here every Sunday, and follow the work that’s being done,” Marutyan said via a Facebook video message. “Quite a large area has already been covered with soil in order to comply with the landfill norms.”

In his words, however, no work has been done at this landfill for years, and that is why such a poor situation has been created there.

“Every week I will come in person [to the landfill], and check to see how these works are being done,” the mayor added, in particular.
