“We are Our City’s Owners”
On October 11 Yerevan Deputy Mayor Kamo Areyan had a speech on “Kentron TV” where he spoke ironically and insulted Yerevan city dwellers who were concerned with the problem of garden elimination in Yerevan.
The viewpoints voiced on air sounded like, for example, “many tree species I don’t where taken from filled our city and they destroy our city appearance and they should be removed…”, “a garden is not designed for sitting on the grass…”, “if trees hinder any construction, they must be cut down skilfully…” etc, are nothing but demagogy and disrespect towards those who oppose to elimination of public gardens and parks.
Based on the abovementioned we think Yerevan Deputy Mayor Kamo Areyan’s position, working style and contemptible attitude to our city residents’ problems don’t comply with the office he holds.
