TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL FILES A SUIT AGAINST YEREVAN MUNICIPALITY

ArmInfo

Transparency International organization is going to file a suit against Yerevan Municipality.

As Artur Avtandilyan, member of "We are Owners of our City" Group, created in Facebook, told ArmInfo, the suit was caused by the fact that Yerevan Municipality, at request of Transparency International, did not delivered the documents on construction of a cafe in the Student Park within the terms provided by the law. To recall, the issue of legality of the indicated construction will be also solved in the court on the initiative of "We are the Owners of Our City" Group. Twenty people joined this collective suit against Yerevan Municipality. There are students and members of the National Library among them.

To recall, Armenia's ombudsman Armen Harutyunyan applied to Yerevan Mayor Gagik Beglaryan in writing requesting to provide the copies of documents on construction of cafe in the Student Park within 10 days, as well as the copies of the agreement signed. In response to his written request, the Ombudsman received a letter signed by the chief architect of Yerevan Samvel Danielyan containing just the list of the construction related documents. Ombudsman's Office informed about the intention to appeal to Yerevan Municipality once again.
