`Save Closed Market’: Yerevan residents have to launch new initiative

`Save Closed Market’ initiative spread an announcement yesterday
midnight which tells the roof of the Yerevan Closed Market on Mashtots
Avenue is destroyed.

`Vandalism is going on in the Mashtots Avenue, Closed Marked. Though
the officials ensured that the constructions are stopped in the market
but yesterday in the evening the architectural monument of Yerevan was
damaged for the next time.’

The members of the initiative spread the information on Facebook
social network and invited everyone to come and protect the market
from the final destruction. They launched a meeting at the Closed
Market today at 11 o’clock. `Let’s gather and discussed our further
actions’, the announcement calls on.

Now nearly 30 people are at the market and the activists managed to
stop works of the constructive machines. As one of the witnesses
informs Times.am now the work is stopped and the situation is calmer.
The activists plan to gather at the market on the next days as well.

Remind that Armenian Parliament deputy Samvel Alexanyan has bought the
market and he is going to construct the next `Yerevan City’
supermarket here as well.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
