Yerevan Mayors keep on changing, while trees keep on getting cut down. If everything keeps on going in this manner, trees in Yerevan may become valueless.
According to residents living next to the yard located in the zone of Tumanyan, Nalbandyan and Avag Petrosyan Streets and Sayat-Nova Avenue, “Avag Shin” Company has cut down 10 more trees within the recent week.
The agreement with this company was concluded by Yerevan Ex Mayor Gagik Beglaryan. For several months the residents have been struggling for green territory trying to preserve a couple of trees left. Nevertheless, Gagik Beglaryan’s resignation didn’t save the current situation.
New Mayor Karen Karapetyan didn’t call the company to follow the provisions laid down in the government decree, such as establishing new green zones, territory improvement etc. Here are trees cut down. It’s sad when bad expectations come true, while good ones never do.
