On 5 October at the crossroad of Paruyr Sevak and K. Oulnetsi Streets tree felling was attempted to be conducted with the help of a bulldozer. The spokesman for the Nature Protection Ministry Hasmik Mkrtchyan said they managed to stop the felling and promised to further inform who sought to carry out the felling and who gave the permission.

In his interview with News.am journalists, Yerevan Municipality Nature Protection Department Head Avet Martirosyan, as a matter of fact, denied the information provided by the spokesman for the Nature Protection Ministry and said a car crash occurred in this area which resulted in the tree to crash down.

In reply to News.am journalist’s statement they were provided with completely other information from the ministry, Avet Martirosyan flew into the temper and allowed some insulting expressions addressed to the Ministry Spokesperson.
