Neither government officials nor the owners of the territories have never met with the young environmentalists struggling for preservation of the Mashtots park.
However, the newspaper managed to find out the owners’ names. The boutiques installed in the park are owned by the Yerevan ex-mayor Gagik Beglaryan’s brother. He also owned a number of shops in Abovyan street.
The Yerevan Municipality plans to allot the adjacent territory to the ex-minister of transport and communication Eduard Madatyan in excange for the buildings at the Abovyan-Sayat Nova crossroads.
According to the newspaper, Madatyan is rejecting the offer as “inadequate.” Armenian Minister of Health Harutyun Kushkyan owns the part of the park bordering on Kokhbatsi street. One more part is owned by Migran Poghosyan, Chief of the Compulsory Enforcement Service.
“Of course, according to the documents, the territories are owned by other persons. So if any refutations follow, we should not be surprised.”
