On 29 July Yerevan Mayor Gagil Beglaryan submitted a proposal on changing the category of a land area of 59,37 ha located in the administrative quarter of Ajapnyak from the status of specially protected territory into that of land area for settlements which was approved at the government meeting.
The Ministries of Urban Development and Nature Protection objected to it, nevertheless the government decided to support Yerevan Mayor’s initiative.
The Ministry of Urban Development objected as this specially protected territory is a sanitary-protective zone for “Shahumyan - 2” cemetery, while site development in the ranges of this territory contradict with town-planning standards. What about the Nature Protection Ministry’s objection, this territory is completely covered with vegetation.
