Most of the trees around the Opera House have long been replaced by
cafes. And now the corrupt municipal authorities and their business
friends are aiming at one of the last green spots left in the area,
the We Are the Owners of Our City action group reports says Facebook.
The group says that this project cannot be considered as legal as
no single legally prescribed procedure has been carried out in this
regard. “Unless the Mayor’s Office and the municipal nature protection
authorities do something to stop it, they will prove once again that
they are corrupt and do not care for the city,” the group says.
Meanwhile, environmentalists warn that in the past decades Yerevan has
lost almost 70% of its green areas because of excessive construction
activities.
