Heritage party to file lawsuit over construction plan in Yerevan park

Tert.am

A lawmaker of the opposition Heritage party, Zaruhi Postanjyan, is now on her way to a Yerevan district court to lodge a claim over the controversial construction in Yerevan’s Mashtots Park.

The construction activities in the park resumed yesterday night after the environmental activists left the area. As early as this morning, the doors and windows of several kiosks were already fixed.

Commenting on overnight construction, Armen Martirosyan, another member of the Heritage party faction in parliament, said: “It has become a habit to carry out activities like this behind the veil of night.”

After negotiations on Monday evening, the environmental group and activists protesting in the park agreed to quit the area, trusting its protection to the police. The protesters had asked the policemen to return them the park the same way they left it.
