Grigor Emin-Teryan for EcoLur
Many trees used to grow in the yards of houses nm. 5a, 5b and 5c on Mashtots Avenue, but they have almost been cut down during recent years. Only those trees survived the residents struggled for every time a new rich moved in this neighborhood…
Still several years ago the yard was amazing: a lawn in front of house nm. 5 with trees and flowers and surrounded with a nice fence.
On October 8 a new attack was made on the lawn. In the morning some workers arrived and started destroying the fence, saying this spot should be asphalted. After the residents complained to the chief dendrologist of Yerevan City, Municipality official Ashot Danielyan arrived on the spot and the same people told him they intended not to destroy the lawn, but to make it better. Mr. Danielyan instructed them not to change the functional significance of that particular territory. Nevertheless, after Ashot Danielyan left, destroying the fence kept was continued…
The lawn was not restored. Might it be considered as a gift to the anniversary of Yerevan?
